About Us
Reducing crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour
is something we all want to see in our community. Everyone
wants to feel safe in their homes, in their neighbourhoods,
and on the streets.
Achieving these aims is no longer the responsibility
of just one agency, such as the police, but now the Government
requires local organisations to work together to improve the
quality of life for local residents. The Hastings Crime &
Disorder Reduction Partnership (CDRP) was set up in 1998 to
tackle crime and the fear of crime in our town. In April 2004,
the Hastings CDRP was relaunched with a new, more user-friendly
title, the Safer Hastings Partnership, or SHP.
The SHP is led by six principal partners:
East Sussex Fire
& Rescue Service (current chair); Sussex
Police; Sussex
Police Authority; Hastings
Borough Council; East
Sussex County Council; Hastings
Primary Care Trust; and Sussex Probation. In addition,
the SHP Board includes Amicus Horizon (Housing Association)
and Hastings Community Forum as non- statutory members.
Bringing these partners, plus many others,
together, our aim is to reduce crime and the fear of crime
in Hastings & St Leonards and, in doing so, to make a
significant impact on the quality of life for residents and
visitors to the town.
