Local Community Safety Fund

Alongside the Police, agencies including local authorities have a statutory duty to prevent and tackle crime and anti-social behaviour (ASB). No one agency can resolve these issues in isolation, so a partnership approach is invaluable.

The Commissioner recognises the value of local knowledge of community concerns and the options available to address them. As part of his commitment to driving down crime and ASB, the Commissioner’s Community Safety Fund is available to support projects and initiatives which focus on addressing local crime and community safety priorities.

This funding is allocated to the nine Community Safety Partnerships (CSPs) operating across Staffordshire and Stoke-on-Trent, each made up of representatives from the Police, local authorities, the Fire & Rescue Service, health and the Probation Service. Each CSP will receive a share of £750,523 to address community safety-related concerns, reduce crime and ASB and enhance public confidence.

By financially supporting the delivery of local community priorities through this fund, CSPs are able to build on the good work they are already doing to keep our communities safe.
