Information about the Fylde Community Safety Partnership and how it helps you.
The Fylde Community Safety Partnership was established in October 1998 in response to the Crime and Disorder Act of the same year. It is made up of a number of key organisation's who work together to ensure that the Borough of Fylde remains one of the country's safest places to live, work or visit.

- Problematic Drug and Alcohol Abuse
- Young People's Issues
- Victims of Domestic Abuse
- Road Safety

Police & the Community
The current membership of the Partnership is:

- Fylde & Wyre Youth Offending Team

The Partnership operates through a Strategy Group which sets the direction and a tasking and coordinating group who implement and manage projects. These groups report to the full partnership, who monitor progress against the Strategy and Partnership Plan twice a year.
Crime remains a top public concern in Britain and equally in Fylde; only the economy ranks higher. Fear of crime is not reducing as fast as actual crime rates and the 'perception gap' matters. It creates a negative cycle of low confidence in local communities, leading to fear, disengagement and a less effective response. Turning statistical improvement into real difference for people in their neighbours is key.
Fylde CDRP are committed to deliver on each of the 'Hallmarks of Effective Partnership'.
