Safer Kingston Partnership
Working for a Safer Kingston, Making a Difference Together.
Crime is tackled in every local area by a Community Safety Partnership (previously known as a Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership) known in Kingston as the Safer Kingston Partnership.
The Safer Kingston Partnership is made up of Public, Private and Voluntary Sector organisations in which Kingston Council is one of the statutory partners along with Metropolitan Police, NHS Kingston, Metropolitan Police Authority and the London Fire Brigade.
The Safer Kingston Partnership Plan 2008-11 which contains our aims and objectives for Kingston is updated yearly through a survey-based process of consultation with borough residents. See below for the 2009 survey information.
This section aims to provide you with information about what is going on in the Partnership, crime prevention and contacts so we can all help to make Kingston a safer place to live, work, visit and be educated.
Recent News and Initiatives
Reducing Crime Together Questionnaire
The Partnership is currently reviewing its 2008-11 Crime, Disorder and Substance Misuse Reduction Strategy. To help us work out priorities for the revised Strategy, we asked for your views on crime, disorder, anti-social behaviour and substance misuse in your local area of the Royal Borough of Kingston upon Thames.
The survey ran from 19 October to 15 November 2009. We are reviewing all responses and would like to thank everyone who took part.
Stay Safe in Kingston
Safer Kingston Partnership are running a poster campaign in Kingston town centre between 22 September and 20 October 2009. The poster campaign is the latest version of the "Stay Safe in Kingston" initiative. This initiative is designed to give meaningful and appropriate messages to young people who live, work, are educated or visit the borough. The key safety messages were developed in conjunction with Kingston University Student Affairs office and the Kingston University Students Union.Kingston University buses will also carry smaller versions of the same poster during the campaign. The key safety messages are:
- Don’t become a victim of burglary
- Keep a close watch on valuables
- Stick with a friend when out at nightKeep unnecessary noise to a minimum
The poster features a touch screen mobile phone with application-like icons promoting each message. Artwork for the poster can be seen below:
