Thanet Community Safety Plan 2011-2012

Welcome to Thanet Community Safety Partnership’s new plan for 2011/12, outlining our key priorities and actions to tackle them.

Crime stayed fairly static in 2010/11 with a small 1% increase from the previous 12 months. Domestic burglary and other acquisitive crimes have been responsible for this small rise and have also offset positive reductions made in violence offences and criminal damage.

Resources and hard work have been put into making the night time economy areas of Thanet safer with the introduction this year of the SOS Trailer, Community Pastors and enforcement work within licensing.

There has also been a new Specialist Domestic Abuse Court making it harder for perpetrators to escape punishment along with the introduction of a Court advocate giving key support to victims.

Anti-social behaviour in all of it’s forms continues to be a challenge and projects such as the joint agency noise car, operation cleansweep and the appointed victim and witness officer will continue to operate to good effect during the coming months.

The partnership has a clear objective to reduce crime in Thanet by 2% by March 2012 and deliver many positive projects and initiatives in particular targeting Domestic Abuse, Anti-Social Behaviour, Public Safety and Offender Management.

During the past 12 months we have seen steady progress made by Thanet Community Safety Partnership in delivering positive outcomes and in turn making the area a safer place.
