Blaby and Hinckley & Bosworth Community Safety Strategy

The Community Safety Partnership (CSP) brings together a collection of people and organisations that have a commitment to reducing crime and disorder and protecting people from harm, while working closely alongside local communities in bringing about a sense of safety for all.

Our purpose

Keeping everyone safe is at the heart of everything we are striving to achieve. The primary purpose of the CSP is to work together to make people and neighbourhoods within the district of Blaby and the borough of Hinckley & Bosworth safer.

Our priority themes and focus
