Safer Somerset Partnership

Working to tackle crime, disorder and antisocial behaviour, and to reduce re-offending to make our communities feel safe and be safe

Introduction

Community Safety Partnerships are nationally recognised bodies. Under the Crime and Disorder Act (1998), ‘statutory partners’ which include councils, the police, fire service, integrated care boards and probation services should work in partnership to reduce crime and disorder.
