East Cambridgeshire is a safe place to live: crime levels are low and, by virtually all indicators, the quality of life is high. Nevertheless, crime and disorder still needs to be addressed and we must not get complacent.
The East Cambridgeshire Community Safety Partnership aims "to create a safer and healthier East Cambridgeshire where people can live and work in an environment free from crime and the fear of crime".
What are the local crime and disorder issues?
The third Crime and Disorder Audit was completed in 2004. It draws on information from a wide variety of sources in order to provide a comprehensive overview of the levels and patterns of crime and disorder in the district. It was on these findings that the Community Safety Strategy was based.
The Crime Research Team produce quarterly crime reports containing up to date crime trends and performance monitoring relating to each of the Partnership's priorities.

What is the Community Safety Partnership doing to make East Cambridgeshire safer?
The Community Safety Strategy 2005-08 has been developed to reflect the priority areas highlighted in the East Cambridgeshire Crime and Disorder Audit 2004. Five priority areas were identified:
- To reduce crime by targeting offenders
- To reduce violent crime
- To reduce the impact of substance misuse on crime
- To identify and address anti-social behaviour
- To reduce vehicle crime
The Strategy outlines the work that will be done in each of the priority areas and the targets by which we will measure our success.
To accomplish these goals, the East Cambridgeshire Community Safety Partnership meets on a regular basis. Minutes for the meetings of the Community Safety Partnership can be accessed below.
