Wealden is a safe place to live with one of the lowest crime rates in the country and we want to keep it that way. Achieving this is no longer the responsibility of a single agency, i.e. the Police. The Government requires local organisations and the community to work together to reduce crime and disorder and improve the quality of life for our residents.
The Safer Wealden Partnership, formerly the Wealden Crime & Disorder Reduction Partnership, was set up in 1998 to tackle such issues. Its partners include representatives from:
- East Sussex County Council (external link)
- East Sussex Downs and Weald Primary Care Trust (external link)
- East Sussex Fire and Rescue Service (external link)
- Sussex Police (external link)
- Sussex Police Authority (external link)
- Sussex Probation (external link)
- Wealden District Council
- Criminal Justice Board (external link)
- East Sussex Safer Communities Team (external link)
- Prison Service (external link)
- Youth Development Service (external link)
- Youth Offending Team (external link)
