PRESENTATION OUTLINE
COMMUNITY SUPPORT PARTNERSHIPS
COMMUNITY SAFETY PARTNERSHIPS
CSP's are made up of representatives from the 'responsible authorities', which are the:
1) Police
2) Local Authorities
3) Fire and Rescue Authorities
4) Probation Service
5) Health
The responsible authorities work together to protect their local communities from crime and to help people feel safer. They work out how to deal with local issues like antisocial behaviour, drug or alcohol misuse and reoffending. They annually assess local crime priorities and consult partners and the local community about how to deal with them.
Working with police and crime commissioners
Community safety partnerships and police and crime commissioners (PCCs) will work together by:
CSPs sending their annual community safety plan and strategy to their local PCC
1 or more CSPs attending PCC meetings
CSPs submitting any merger requests to their PCC (but the PCC cannot impose mergers)
the PCC asking for reports from CSPs on specific issues
