Introduction to the Community Safety Strategy

The Chesterfield Community Safety Partnership has picked out the following priorities to concentrate on in 2005-2008: 

• Burglary and Theft
• Violent Crime 
• Anti-social behaviour 

We have set targets for each one and will measure our progress against them. The targets are:

• To reduce domestic burglaries by 32%
• To reduce theft of vehicles by 15% and theft from a vehicle by 25%
• To reduce criminal damage by 20%
• To reduce perception of anti-social behaviour
• To reduce the number of secondary fires by 5%
• To reduce common assault by 6%
• To reduce wounding by 9% 

These targets are very challenging but we feel that by working together, the Partnership will be able to deliver the reductions, helping us to make Chesterfield a safer place to live, work, visit and invest in.
