Consultation on making County Durham a safer place
We asked for your views on how we intend to keep County Durham a safe place to live, work and visit.
Background
We are responsible for working together with organisations such as the police, fire and rescue service and NHS to help to improve safety and reduce crime, disorder, anti-social behaviour and substance misuse in the county. The Safe Durham Partnership Plan 2021-25 sets out what things we're going to focus on to make the county safe.
We are aware that a lot can change even in a year - the plan has been monitored so any updates can reflect changes on a local level, in laws and national policies, the economy and emerging threats. We have listened to what you told us in the previous 2019 consultation, and also during the consultation for the new County Durham Vision, to help review the plan.
Safe Durham Partnership Plan
Covering the next four years, it allows enough time for the things we bring in to start to make a difference. Our priorities are:
- promote being safe and feeling safe in the community
- support victims and protect vulnerable people from harm
- prevent counter terrorism, radicalisation and violent extremism
- reduce re-offending
- alcohol and substance misuse reduction
- tackle and prevent cyber enabled crime
