Community Safety

Two ladies talking to a police officer in the city centre

Stoke-on-Trent Safer City Partnership was officially launched in October 2007. It is responsible for implementing the national crime, disorder, drug and alcohol strategies at a local level. Its aim is to work in active partnership,

“creating a safer, stronger and healthier city by reducing crime, disorder, substance misuse and associated problems”.

Our Priorities 2010/11

Each year the Partnership undertakes a needs assessment to determine the priorities for the coming year. The following priorities were identified for 2011/12:

  • Antisocial behaviour,
  • Violent crime,
  • Drugs and alcohol,
  • Offending behaviour and re-offending,
  • Acquisitive crime including, personal robbery, shoplifting, home burglary and bogus callers.

The successful implementation of these strategies depends on a partnership approach being adopted. These associated issues are complex and require a range of agencies to be responsible for delivering the agenda.

Therefore, membership includes a wide range of stakeholders from:

  • Public sector
  • Private sector
  • Voluntary sector
  • Community
