Community Safety
The Community Safety Partnership is one of the Community Planning Partnership Teams in Clackmannanshire. On behalf of the Clackmannanshire Alliance, the Partnership provides a strategic overview of community safety issues and contributes to the achievement of the community planning outcomes, in particular "Our community is safer".
Minutes from meetings of the partnership are available for download.
Membership has recently been reviewed and is drawn from a range of partnership organisations including:
- Central Scotland Police
- Clackmannanshire Council
- NHS Forth Valley
- Central Scotland Fire & Rescue Service
- Clackmannanshire Substance Misuse Forum
- CVS Clackmannanshire
The Clackmannanshire Alliance is currently looking at how best to engage with the community and voluntary sector. Community representation on the Community Safety Partnership will therefore be confirmed once the framework for this engagement has been agreed by the Alliance.
The Community Safety Partnership is chaired by Central Scotland Police Alloa Area Commander. Policy and administrative support is provided by Clackmannanshire Council.
The Community Safety Strategy is currently under review. Following an extensive exercise to identify local priority issues, the community safety aims 2008-2011 have been agreed to be:
- Improve positive perceptions of Clackmannanshire and tackle the fear of crime, through reassurance, communication, education and engagement;
- Take proactive and prompt action to tackle crime and antisocial behaviour and support victims;
- Undertake education, prevention and enforcement activities to tackle the incidence and effects of alcohol and substance misuse;
- Provide positive opportunities for young people and reduce the likelihood of involvement in crime or ASB;
- Promoting Safety and Preventing Accidents.
The revised strategy will be based around these priority aims. The strategy will be consulted on and published in 2009.
The Community Safety Strategy 2005-2008 is available below for information.
