Community Safety is about making places safer to live and work.  Everyone, including you, has a role to play in making your community a safe place to live and work.. 

Safer Blaenau Gwent aims to work within your community to address your concerns and your priorities.

The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 made it a statutory duty for the Local Authority and the Police to work in partnership to tackle crime, anti-social behaviour and substance misuse across the County Borough.  Some of our other partners are:

• Gwent Police Authority
• Blaenau Gwent Local Health Board
• South Wales Fire Authority
• South Wales Fire and Rescue Service
• Probation
• Youth Offending Team

  We recognise that no one Agency can tackle crime and anti-social behaviour alone.  Working in partnership allows us to combine the expertise and resources needed to meet the needs and priorities of your communities.
