Safer Newport – Newport Community Safety Partnership

The Crime and Disorder Act placed a statutory duty for local Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships to be formed. In Newport this partnership is known as Safer Newport, and is responsible for carrying out an annual assessment of Crime and Disorder from which it develops and implements an Annual Plan.

Safer Newport Partnership

Safer Newport is led by an Executive Steering Group which by statute has to include:

Newport City Council

Gwent Police (Newport) (opens new website)

Gwent Police Authority (opens new website)

Newport Local Health Board (opens new website)

South Wales Fire Service (opens new website)

Safer Newport also includes a number of other statutory partners such as:

Gwent Probation (opens new website)

Newport Youth Offending Team (opens new website)

Along with other local public and voluntary organisations

Our priorities for 2010/11 are:

• Anti Social Behaviour
• Crimes of Violence with an emphasis on serious violence
• Property Crime with an emphasis on serious acquisitive crime
• Substance Misuse (which includes Alcohol)

These will be achieved by delivering:

• A new ‘Integrated Offender Management System’
• New ‘Neighbourhood Partnership Agreements’
• A ‘Safer City Centre’
• The ‘Contest Strategy’
