Calderdale Community Safety Partnership (CSP)

Keeping the people of Calderdale both safe and feeling safe is not just down to the Police and Council. A number of different organisations have a role to play. These partners come together to form the Calderdale CSP.

Our vision

Everyone in Calderdale feels safe and protected at all times.

The aims are to:

Build resilient communities

Tackle crime and anti-social behaviour

• Deal robustly and swiftly with offenders.
• Improve quality of life and promote the feeling of safety.
• Reduce the chance of crime and anti-social behaviour taking place.

Protect victims and the vulnerable

• Make sure that vulnerable people are safe and supported.
• Encourage domestic abuse to be reported.
• Reduce incidents of hate crime.

Defend against new and emerging threats

• Tackle organised crime and those that exploit the vulnerable.
• Prevent people from being drawn into violent extremism.
• Make sure threats are understood and responded to.

How we will measure our success

• Reduce the number of victims.
