The Safer Penzance Profile provides a picture of crime and anti-social behaviour in the town. The profile is produced each year to provide an understanding about what crimes are occurring, when they are most likely to happen as well as a profile of anti-social behaviour. This information is used to inform the delivery plan for Penzance and helps to ensure interventions are focused on the most important issues.
Safer Penzance strives to tackle crime and the impact of alcohol, drugs, anti-social behaviour. We provide a multi-agency response, directly involving local organisations and community groups.
Safer Penzance is a partnership between Safer Cornwall, Cornwall Council, Penzance Town Council, Penzance BID, St Petrocs, WeAreWithYou, Growing Links, Cornwall Fire and Rescue, and other community organisations.
Based on the evidence presented in the Penzance Town Profile and the feedback from the Residents Survey, Safer Penzance has produced a Delivery Plan and have identified the following community safety priorities for the town.
The partnership currently meets monthly, to discuss current issues and conduct a joint agency problem solving effort to resolve them.
The John Daniel Centre is a community space available to everyone in Penzance which offers support and advice on a range of issues such as drugs, homelessness, domestic abuse as well as a range of other health services.
Encourage the community to report crimes via the Devon and Cornwall Police website or by calling 101
