In accordance with the Crime and Disorder Act, 1998 there is a Community Safety Partnership that covers Allerdale and Copeland. The Police, Local Authority, Police Authority, Primary Care Trust and Fire Authority are statutory members of the CSP.
CSPs engage with as many local agencies and voluntary groups as possible in order to achieve a truly community-based multi-agency approach to reducing crime and disorder.
The CSP works towards reducing crime and disorder in West Cumbria by conducting an audit, strategic assessment, to establish the type and levels of crime and disorder.
Consulting with the community is very important to make sure that the partnership's perception of crime and disorder matches that of local people. Minority groups are particularly encouraged to give their views. A strategic assessment was conducted in 2009 and will be reviewed annualy.
West Cumbria CSP has been working hard to ensure that it responds to the needs of local people by taking account of local people's views. Partnership working is vitally important in reducing crime and disorder and in West Cumbria we have many excellent examples of how this has been achieved. These successes have been held as good practice throughout the country and contribute greatly to ensuring that West Cumbria is a safe place to live.
