Blaby and Hinckley & Bosworth Community Safety Partnership annual update To provide an annual update on the work of the Blaby and Hinckley & Bosworth Community Safety Partnership. Additional documents: Minutes: Members were updated on performance, achievements and challenges of the Blaby and Hinckley & Bosworth Community Safety Partnership. Discussion ensued on the following:
· The priority given to reports of antisocial behaviour by the police · The serious violence duty which involved working together on a preventative approach to serious violence including via early intervention · High numbers of domestic abuse compared to pre-covid years which may have been due to the ongoing focus on encouraging reporting of domestic abuse · Support for children impacted by domestic abuse which was successful due to partnership working and strong relationships with schools · Road safety concerns and discussions between the police and other agencies in relation to actions to address bridge strikes on the A5 · Increased policing and support for residents in relation to burglary · Antisocial behaviour in rural areas and hesitancy about reporting · The need to focus on post-covid statistics from now on · The population increase which may also have an impact on the crime numbers and would be demonstrated by looking at crime numbers as a percentage of the population.
RESOLVED –
(i) The report be noted;
(ii) The work that has taken place to enable the Community Safety Partnership and the local authorities to successfully ensure compliance with the serious violence duty be noted. |
