The York and North Yorkshire Safer Communities Forum brings together a range of organisations committed to tackling Crime and Disorder and its causes.

 

The Forum is primarily concerned with the delivery of countywide outcomes through the ‘safer’ element of the Local Area Agreement (LAA).

 

There is a duty on the Forum to produce an annual Community Safety Agreement for North Yorkshire. The agreement is an opportunity for the Forum to consider the data, intelligence and analysis from the district level Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnerships’ (CDRPs) annual Joint Strategic Intelligence Assessments (JSIAs). The agreement also outlines ways in which partners can work more effectively, both individually and collectively, to address the priorities and issues identified.
