Introduction

Hertfordshire Constabulary is committed to constantly improving its delivery of its Safer Neighbourhoods strategy in order to provide the best possible service to all of the county’s many communities. Our aim is to create safer neighbourhoods and greater feelings of safety and we want the public to feel that they have a genuine involvement and a bigger say in how their neighbourhoods are policed.

We place a great emphasis on partnership to bring about long-term and sustainable solutions to difficult and persistent local problems. We need the continued support of all the many organisations who already work with us to reduce crime and disorder.

Safer Neighbourhoods can be achieved if communities have:

Access

We have named contacts for members of the public and agencies to call upon for guidance and assistance. The Constabulary recognises that different communities will need different forms and levels of access to our service and we strive to deliver this. Click here to find your named contact.

Influence

Communities must have opportunities to make choices around neighbourhood policing priorities. In return the Constabulary will listen and will actively seek out the views of residents in negotiating local priorities.

Taking Action

The Constabulary will take robust action in tackling community concerns and will use partnership problem solving to make a difference. The Constabulary believes that community-owned solutions are more sustainable in the long term.

Answers

The Constabulary will strive to involve communities and give feedback on the progress of cases and issues. It will be up to our communities to decide if we have been successful. We believe active and responsive communication is the key to our success.
