9. Scale up VCFSE role in Building Safer Communities
Boys and Girls Scouts, swimming clubs, etc all have a big impact on the community and need to capture how crime is being reduced.
Seems only negative things are reported. Suggested that local police should highlight the positives on a regular basis.
Enhance Community
– Education, wellbeing & skill sharing – Communication, networking sharing & connecting – Bring people together in the community
Pride of Place
Appropriately regulated neighbourhood watch teams recognised and working in collaboration with local PCSOs do help as a reporting hub for concerned residents.
Idea
More PCSOs on the beat within all communitys or even getting more funding for security firms to employ local people to police the ward areas and community areas of BWD to reduce crime antisocial behaviour etc if possible
Community Safety
As well as community payback many of the utility providers/police/fire service do provide speakers for meetings. These can deliver a community safety message to those who attend meetings such as WI, village come and chat clubs etc.
