Sevenoaks District Coumminty Safety Partnership - CSP

The CSP is formed of statutory agencies, housing associations, charities and business to work together to reduce crime for people that work, live and travel across the District. Within the CSP sits the CSU

The CSU brings together officers from a number of agencies, all working from an office within the Council Offices. This co-location allows for easy sharing of information and ideas on how to co

mbat crime, anti-social behaviour and community safety issues. Staff based in the CSU include officers from Kent Police, Sevenoaks District Council (Community Safety), Safer Towns Co-ordinator, Youth Intervention Support Worker and Kent County Council Community Wardens. Short briefings are held each morning to discuss recent reports of crime and anti-social behaviour received by any agency. These briefings are attended by officers from the CSU as well as representatives from other services such as Environmental Protection, Licensing, and Housing Associations Moat & WEst kent Housing Association. Because of the wide range of partners attending briefings, the CSU is able to provide a range of responses to crime and antisocial behaviour in addition to traditional police tasking. There are usually around two or three taskings per day, which are carried out by the nominated agency and fed back to the group. The CSU is not open to the public, however if you would like advice on community safety issues such as crime reduction or support services you can use the links on this site or call 01732 227000 and ask for Community Safety.
