Amber Community Safety Programme
Amber Community Safety Programme is a partnership network where everyone works together to reduce crime and the fear of crime, and to create a safer place to live and work.
The best way is to put community in the core of the network and to operate in a framework to build productive partnerships and collaboration with statutory agencies and the other communities in order to find the best solutions to issues and concerns at the local level using a innovative problem solving approach. It is acknowledged that fighting crime is the responsibility of Police, however, the community has responsibility to help prevent and reduce crime and the opportunities for crime.
Experience shows that with Police, local authority, the business sector and the community working together, opportunities for crime can be reduced.
