The Selby District Community Safety Partnership, formed as a result of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998, has now emerged as a top performing partnership consistently meeting targets and responding to the emerging issues that affect the local community. Not only does the Partnership have a strategic focus, but it also pride itself in listening and responding to those people and communities that may be the victims of crime and antisocial behaviour throughout the district.

 

The Partnership is not complacent and needs to continue to maintain and in some instances improve the existing systems of engagement and participation. We recognise that by working together, a real difference can be made by drawing on the knowledge of the local community combined with the expertise of both statutory and voluntary agencies.

 

This Partnership Plan follows on from previous Safer Communities Strategies and responds to new legislative requirements and good practice. It will be reviewed on an annual basis with opportunities for wider consultation and comment. As a partnership we actively encourage involvement and participation in our common aim to make the Selby district a safer place and look forward to developing these links further in the year ahead.
