Crime, Disorder and Drugs Reduction in Hertsmere

The 1998 Crime and Disorder Act places a statutory duty on public agencies to work together to prevent and reduce crime,disorder and anti-social behaviour. Within this borough we perform this duty under the name Hertsmere Community Safety Partnership (CSP), formerly know as Hertsmere Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership (CDRP).

Who's involved?

The following are involved in Hertsmere Community Safety Partnership:

What does the CSP do?

All partners and agencies work together to help make Hertsmere a safer place to live, work and visit by addressing the priorities set out in the Partnership Plan 2008 – 2011 PDF logo.  We are striving to achieve the following outcomes:

  • Creating safer environments by tackling crime, anti-social behaviour and alcohol related disorder
  • Improving lives by reducing harm caused to communities by drugs
  • Reducing offending and managing offender behaviour
  • Building community confidence and reassurance

Did you know - you can get involved? 

Local Community Safety Partnerships operate across the borough and meet four times a year to discuss local concerns.  It's your opportunity to meet with other residents, the police, fire service and council to hear what's been happening locally - more information on local CSPs. 

How are we doing? 

In April 2009 a review of the work of the CSP was undertaken.  This highlighted that crime had fallen by 7.5% on the previous year, and many of the initiatives that took place during the year.

Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill

The Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill has now started its passage through
Parliament, following its introduction to the House of Commons on 30 November 2010.

In the Queen’s 2010 speech, the government announced the introduction of legislation that
would make the police service more accountable to local people and tackle alcohol-related
violence. The Police Reform and Social Responsibility Bill provides for this and other key
coalition agreement commitments. It marks the next step in the government’s programme to
reduce central bureaucracy, increase democratic accountability and empower local
communities.
