What is Community Safety?
The County Council believes that Community Safety extends beyond Crime and Disorder, and has defined it as follows:
"Community Safety is an aspect of quality of life that affects people, communities and organisations. People need to feel safe and this means developing stronger, confident and more cohesive communities. Community Safety includes reducing crime and disorder and tackling anti-social behaviour, domestic violence, drug and alcohol abuse and promoting fire and road safety and public protection."

The County Council works closely with a wide variety of partner organisations such as Staffordshire Police, Fire and Rescue Service and the district and borough based Community Safety Partnerships to support the creation of stronger communities within Staffordshire and to enhance Community Safety across the county.
