About the Community Safety Partnership
The Wandsworth Community Safety Partnership (CSP) brings together local authorities and organisations to prevent and reduce crime in our Borough. The main objective of the partnership is to make Wandsworth a safe place to live, work, learn and visit – for all.
The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 places a responsibility on the Police and the Council to work together alongside other key partners to prevent crime and reduce reoffending in their areas.
We work in partnership with local police, probation, health authority, Registered Social Landlords, voluntary sector, local residents and businesses.
