Guildford Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership - the Safer Guildford Partnership

The County Council has a statutory responsibility for crime and disorder reduction.

In Guildford it discharges this responsibility through its representatives on the borough Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership (CDRP), often known as the Safer Guildford Partnership, which aims to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour in the borough. Every three years the partnership produces a strategy document known as the Community Safety Strategy which sets out ways in which it plans to combat crime and disorder in the coming months and years.

The leading partner organisations which make up the Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership in Guildford are

• Surrey County Council
• Guildford Borough Council
• Surrey Police
• Surrey Fire and Rescue Service
• Surrey Primary Care Trust
• Surrey Probation Service
• Surrey Youth Justice Service
• Surrey Police Authority

The Safer Guildford Strategy 2005-08 pledges that the partners will work on the following key areas:

• Making your neighbourhood safer by reducing antisocial behaviour and criminal damage
• Making the town centre safer by reducing drunkenness, antisocial behaviour, damage
• Reducing the serious crimes that concern you most, such as burglary and car crime
• Making the roads safer by reducing traffic speeds and casualties
• Reducing drug and alcohol-related crime and disorder by tackling persistent offenders with drug and alcohol dependencies.
• Making people safer in their homes by supporting victims of domestic abuse.
