Safer future communities

Safer Future Communities is an exciting new project which will support the VCS involved in community safety to adapt to a new landscape.

The project seeks to work through sub regional networks to match police authority regions, which will identify local priorities on community safety, and how the Sector seeks to address these.

It will support these networks to develop new skills in marketing the work of the Sector: its engagement with, and understanding of local communities and their needs, in addition to the services they offer.

This includes preparing for the new Police and Crime Commissioners, and other key partners and commissioners with which the Sector needs to develop relationships.

The Police Foundation maintains a regularly updated list (opens in new window) of those standing as candidates for election as Police and Crime Commissioners in all the police force areas.

In particular, we want to encourage the involvement of organisations working to address:

• Crime and re-offending
• anti social behaviour
• diversity
• substance misuse
• violence against women and girls
• youth crime
