 What is Babergh Community Safety Partnership?
The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 placed a statutory duty on the following Public Authorities to work together to tackle crime and disorder. For Babergh this means
- Suffolk County Council
- Suffolk Constabulary
- NHS Suffolk
- Suffolk Police Authority
- Suffolk Fire and Rescue Service
- Babergh District Council
- The Probation Service
These organisations, in conjunction with Suffolk Drug and Alcohol Action Team form Babergh’s Community Safety Partnership.
We all work together to create a safer and stronger Suffolk. Babergh has one of the lowest crime rates in Suffolk, in fact you have a 95% chance of never being a victim of crime. However the partnership needs to work hard to keep it low and drive it down even further. The partnership recognizes that the following issues are affecting Babergh residents and have identified them as the key areas for focus.
