Neighbourhood Policing Programme
Neighbourhood Policing is based on local priorities identified by local people as the issues that need to be dealt with in their area and Police and partners will work together to tackle them.

Community Safety
The Partnership is made up of a number of agencies including the Police, Police Authority, Councils, Fire Service and The Primary Care Trust. In addition to these statutory bodies other organisations including Harrogate Alcohol and Drugs Agency, Harrogate & District NHS Foundation Trust and Voluntary Sector groups are involved in reducing crime and disorder in our district.
Our Vision
Our vision is to maintain and improve the quality of life within the community, ensuring that people across the Harrogate District feel safe and not threatened by crime and disorder or other anti social behaviour.
Our Plan
Our Partnership Plan has been developed following legislative changes brought in under the Crime and Disorder Act Review 2006.
Previously, we compiled a three year Strategy which was designed to tackle the priorities identified for the whole period of that Strategy. The last Strategy ended at the end of March 2008.
Our plan sets out the expectations of the Harrogate District Safer Communities Partnership; what we will deliver over the next three years, the resources available, how performance will be measured and will act as one of the mechanisms to communicate to local people. It builds on our analysis of crime and disorder and sets the following priorities.
Safer Neighbourhoods
We will continue working together delivering safer neighbourhoods by tackling anti social and unacceptable behaviour.
Crime
The aim of our safer communities partnership is to reduce violent crime and domestic violence across the Harrogate District.
Safer Roads
Although levels of road traffic collisions are low we continue to work towards reducing them by raising awareness about how to be safe on our roads.
Alcohol and Substance Misuse
Our focus will be on reducing the harm caused by binge drinking and substance misuse.
The full Partnership Plan can be view through the link. It takes these priorities forward and identifies the ways in which they will be delivered
It will be reviewed annually and covers the period April 2008 March 2011.
