The South Cambridgeshire Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership aims to improve community safety through the reduction of crime and disorder in the South Cambridgeshire District Council area.
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 South Cambridgeshire safer?
The Community Safety Strategy 2005-08 has been developed to reflect the priority areas highlighted in the South Cambridgeshire Crime and Disorder Audit 2004. Seven priority areas were identified:
- To reduce dwelling burglary
- To reduce thefts of and thefts from vehicles
- To develop effective action to tackle anti-social behaviour
- To address the issues of domestic violence
- To reduce the impact of prolific and other priority offenders
- To promote greater community cohesion between the settled and travelling communities
- To reduce the harm caused by alcohol and drugs, in conjunction with the Drug and Alcohol ActionTeam, especially in relation to young people
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 South Cambridgeshire Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership meets on a regular basis. Minutes for the meetings of the Community Safety Partnership can be accessed below.

Who does the work and what have they been doing?
The Community Safety Strategy is delivered through the work of multi-agency task groups. The groups include people from organisations such as the Police, the District Council, the County Council, the Probation Service, the Primary Care Trust, the Fire Service, the Crime Prevention Panel and local neighbourhood watch groups.
Each of the Task Groups is responsible for drawing up its own action plans to tackle crime and disorder issues, in line with the Community Safety Strategy. The Task Group Newsletter shows what the groups have been doing recently.
The Task Group Newsletter aims to show what is being done by each of the groups that have been set up to carry out the actions that are included in the Community Safety Strategy. The newsletter also highlights who chairs each of the groups.
The task groups included in the newsletter are:
- Anti-Social Behaviour Task Group
- Burglary Task Group
- South Cambridgeshire and Cambridge Domestic Violence Forum
- Vehicle Crime Task Group
The newsletter also contains information on the other priority areas: drugs and alcohol; community cohesion and prolific and other priority offenders.
