Leicestershire county community safety agreement
Leicestershire County Council work closely with a range of partners to help support community safety.
Community safety agreement
The production of a community safety agreement is a statutory requirement.
It sets out how the police, local authorities, fire and rescue, probation services, health and third sector partners will work together in partnership, to identify and address shared priorities, to prevent and mitigate the effects of crime and disorder across the county.
In Leicestershire, the community safety agreement is published by the Leicestershire Safer Communities Strategy Board.
