East Sussex Community Safety Agreement
After looking at crime and disorder issues around East Sussex, we've developed a plan which describes how we will all work together to tackle crime and the fear of crime.
Our priorities are:
- reducing anti-social behaviour
- preventing young people from committing crime
- preventing and reducing violent crime
- reducing the number of adults who continue to break the law
- improving your road safety
- reducing hate crime and encouraging people to report incidents of hate crime
- reducing the harm caused by drugs
- reducing the harm caused by alcohol
- improving the way we communicate with residents of East Sussex and asking them what they think of our plans.
You can download the East Sussex Community Safety Agreement from the East Sussex Safer Communities Partnership website.
