Medway’s Community Safety Partnership (CSP) was formed following the introduction of the Crime and Disorder Act 1998.
This act placed a statutory duty on ‘responsible authorities’ to work collaboratively to develop and implement a Community Safety Strategy (Plan) designed to reduce crime and anti-social behaviour within Medway.
Our annual assessment
Every Community Safety Partnership in England is required to produce a plan. This plan sets out the key strategic aims and priorities for the partnership and how we plan to deliver on these.
The partnership wants to engage with as many local agencies and voluntary groups as possible.
To inform the plan, we undertake an annual Crime and Disorder ‘Strategic Assessment’ that informs the progress of the plan, work of partners and effective delivery of community safety work.

Having your say
We asked to hear the views of local residents and businesses around community safety and hear thoughts on what we should prioritise.
This feedback will help us to shape the latest action plan by focusing on the things that matter most to you. This will help to keep Medway a safe place to live, work, learn and visit.
