Safe in Warwickshire – Who We Are
Safe In Warwickshire is a collection of partner agencies, who are members of the Safer Warwickshire Partnership Board. We work collaboratively to address crime and safety priorities, and to provide support for victims and survivors of crime and disorder across Warwickshire.
As all agencies play a role in making our communities safer, Safe In Warwickshire reflects the partnership work taking place to achieve this. This website is updated and maintained by the Warwickshire County Council Community Safety Team on behalf of all partners. The website provides residents with crime prevention advice to protect your property or vehicle; information on the likes of exploitation, Prevent and anti-social behaviour; as well as providing contact details for specialist support services relating to crime and disorder.
You can stay up to date with the latest information, by following us on Facebook and Twitter. If you need to contact the Warwickshire County Council Community Safety Team, you can email us: communitysafety@warwickshire.gov.uk
