Working in partnership to make Brent a ‘safer community’ for all

Brents Crime and Disorder and Community Safety Partnership group comprises of Brent Council and the Metropolitan Police working in active partnership with the London Fire and Emergency Planning Authority, National Probation Service and Brent Primary Care Trust.

The Crime and Disorder and Community Safety Partnership firmly believes that local crime problems require local solutions. Their approach to reducing crime and the fear of crime is set out in the Crime and Disorder & Community Safety Strategy and its associated action plans.

The Partnerships mission is embodied in the following statements:

Ø we believe that a safe community is a basic right of all our local citizens.

Ø we know that crime and fear of crime is a major concern to the public and we are determined to respond positively to this concern.

Ø we recognise the key role that crime reduction and community safety must play in the process of social and economic regeneration and believe that a safer community will encourage local prosperity.

Ø we believe that our strategy reflects the consensus and priorities of Brent’s ethnically diverse communities and provides the framework required to reduce crime and improve the quality of life for all people who live and work in Brent.

Ø we will ensure that our action will provide direct benefits to local people and will enable us to make measurable progress in contributing to a safer community.

Ø we are determined to work together in partnership to make Brent ‘a safer community’ for all.
