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:
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.
The Safer Hastings Partnership has focus groups concentrating on particularly important areas of crime. These are: public reassurance, violent crime, identified prolific & other priority offenders (IPPO), anti-social behaviour (ASB), acquisitive crime, domestic violence and drug & alcohol misuse.
You can find details about what is being done to combat these areas of crime by visiting our Focus Group page, or by clicking here.
