Purpose

To seek approval of the Community Safety Plan
2024–27. It is a statutory requirement to compile and
implement a 3-year plan for combatting crime and disorder in the
area and this has been developed following the recent stakeholder
consultation and a strategic needs assessment.

Decision

RECOMMENDED that Council approve the
Community Safety Plan 2024-27.
 
RESOLVEDthat the Executive Director:
People be authorised to make any minor textual changes prior to
submission to Council.

Reasons for the decision

i.      
The CSP Plan 2024-27 is based on:
 
·      
local crime and disorder evidence
·      
feedback from a CSP stakeholder workshop and
consultation event on 23 April 2024
·      
 a
4-week resident consultation on recommended priorities and
locations of crime and disorder
·      
Bracknell Forest resident feedback to the Office of
the Police and Crime
 
Commissioner’s Local Crime Survey
 
It
is noted that the recommended priorities comprise crime and
disorder which are:
 
·      
most prevalent or most requested for focus by
partners and residents, or
·      
are increasing in trend, or
·      
where preventing a crime of high harm to keep
existing levels low, is important, or
·      
 where we are required to do work through a government
duty.

Alternative options considered

No
alternative options have been considered as the plan is a statutory
requirement
which has been based on
evidence, stakeholder feedback and resident
consultation.
