Community Safety
The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 placed a joint statutory duty on
local authorities and the Police service to tackle crime and
disorder. The Community Safety Team work in partnership with the
police, statutory and voluntary agencies, the business community
and local community groups to co-ordinate and implement a range of
crime prevention initiatives based on crime and disorder issues in
the area.
From April 2008, a Strategic Assessment will be carried out on
an annual basis by Safer Neath Port Talbot (Safer NPT) Partnership.
The completion of a strategic assessment is governed by The Crime
and Disorder (Formulation and Implementation of Strategy)
Regulations 2007 which came into force in Wales on the
1st November 2007. This replaces the need to produce a
three year strategy but instead requires the production of a
triennial rolling partnership plan, reviewed annually. The
strategic assessment is an analysis of the levels and patterns of
crime, disorder and substance misuse in the area, which informs the
priorities the Community Safety Partnership should adopt to address
those matters. The partnership plan outlines a strategy for
delivering identified priorities and also recognises individual
agencies’ roles in the implementation of the plan.
The aim of the strategic assessment is to
provide Safer NPT with an assessment of current, emerging and
long-term issues affecting the Neath Port Talbot area which will be
considered in conjunction with national priorities.
Collectively, this will provide opportunities for enforcement,
prevention, reassurance and identify any intelligence
requirements.
