Saltash Town Profile

The Safer Saltash 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 Saltash and helps to ensure interventions are focused on the most important issues.

Safer Saltash provides continued support to communities

Safer Saltash facilitates and supports a multi-agency approach to community safety issues to improve feelings of safety, reduce the risk of harm to the community and protect vulnerable groups.  Safer Saltash involves community members in the work of the partnership and encourages social inclusion and community participation as part of the problem solving process.

What we have achieved:

Safer Saltash continues to meet every four weeks to ensure that regular dynamic intelligence and updates about emerging community safety, crime and antisocial behaviour across the town is fed in and acted upon. This year we have:

• continued to address pockets of antisocial behaviour in the town through a balance of support and enforcement measures;
• offered ‘Bystander’ training to staff from the licenced premises,
• targeted work at the Waterside to address specific concerns;
• delivered several environmental visual audits in various locations in the town. These audits involved a number of partners from a raft of different agencies, coming together to assess the physical space and agreeing actions to improve the area in line with situational crime prevention strategies;
• we have worked with civil enforcement partners to focus activity in hotspot locations;
• advocated for the implementation of a live monitored CCTV system in Saltash;
• worked in partnership with the local youth provision organisations and Saltash Community School to bring in improvements for young people and their families and facilitated the sharing of intelligence with organisations responsible for road safety.

What are our priorities:

Reduce the harms of drugs and alcohol
Domestic abuse and violence against women and girls are not tolerated, and people can live free of fear
Prevent and reduce antisocial behaviour, focusing on the people and places that need the most help
Youth engagement
Crime prevention and improved feelings of safety
Community engagement and building community resilience
