Crime Prevention Through Partnerships

The Community Development team undertakes crime prevention and reduction programmes through a variety of partnerships. Funding is awarded by the Crime Prevention Unit (CPU) and Criminal Justice Group.

Crime prevention and reduction is achieved via:

• Working collectively with government and non-government agencies to develop solutions that achieve real and measurable outcomes.
• Promoting the accurate identification of local crime problems and community safety priorities.
• Supporting evidence-based crime reduction activity.
