Safer Norwich Strategy 2023-26

A safer city where:

• We will embed a joint problem-solving approach to locational anti-social behaviour across key partners and services.
• We develop key datasets and sources to understand ASB and those who perpetrate it.
• We will identify and resource effective interventions to support young people away from anti-social behaviour and crime.
• We work with residents to identify issues and shared responses.
• We continue to invest in our housing neighbourhoods – maintenance, estate improvements, and security measures.

A connected city where:

• We will identify our key partners and make sure they are signed up to the Safer Norwich Partnership Board.
• The Safer Norwich Partnership Board informs and influences the Norfolk County Community Safety Partnership (NCCSP).
• We will ensure that data products from NCCSP meet Norwich’s needs.

A supportive city where:

• Provide support for those experiencing substance and alcohol addiction.
• There is effective action to dismantle County Lines operations.
• Protecting individuals, households, and communities from the impact of drug-dealing and cuckooing.
