This report details the Community Safety Strategy and Action Plan that each Community Safety Partnership is required by the Home Office to produce and sets out how Fareham’s Partnership will tackle the identified priority crimes.
The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 requires Fareham Borough Council to work together with the statutory and invited partners to develop and implement a Strategy to reduce crime and disorder in the Borough of Fareham.
A Strategic Assessment was undertaken in 2013 and this identified the priority areas of work and enabled the development of a strategy and Action Plan to reduce crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour in the Borough over the next three years. This will be refreshed each year to ensure the plan is up to date, relevant, fit for purpose and focuses on the current issues. This analytical document informs the new Community Safety Strategy. The priorities that were identified and which are reflected in the current strategy are;-
· Providing Public Re-assurance
· Reducing Anti-social Behaviour
· Reducing Crimes Associated with Drugs and Alcohol
· Reducing Violent Crime including Domestic Violence
· Reducing Re-Offending
The Strategy has been developed by all the partners of Fareham's Community Safety Partnership and offers a fully joined up, multi-agency and targeted approach to community safety work in Fareham.
