Community Safety
Government Office for the North West is responsible for the delivery of the Crime Strategy, National Drug Strategy and the communities' agenda in the region. We work together with Crime and Disorder Reduction / Community Safety Partnerships and Drug Action Teams and provide a link between them, other delivery agencies and central government.
Government Offices make a regional contribution to the Government’s aim to build a safe, just and tolerant society, protect the public and ensure the balance between the rights and responsibilities of individuals, families and communities is properly maintained. Government Offices also deliver the four key themes of the National Drug Strategy.

Local Crime and Disorder Reduction / Community Safety Partnerships, Drug Action Teams and other local partners are at the forefront of this work and we work with them in reducing crime and the fear of crime, anti-social behaviour, reducing the harm caused by drugs and alcohol and helping people feel safer in our communities.
We do this by:
- providing guidance and support to enable performance improvement
- making available a wide range of information in the form of newsletters, websites and briefing documents;
- arranging training opportunities, and putting on best practice conferences, workshops and seminars;
- working in partnership with the Police, Health, Justice, Probation, Fire Services, and other agencies to improve community safety and perceptions of crime;
- providing financial support through direct allocations of Home Office funding and other sources;
