MAKING DEVON’S COMMUNITIES EVEN SAFER
Safer Devon is a partnership of public, voluntary and community organisations that work together to make Devon’s communities safer. It provides leadership for community safety work carried out across the county.
Partners include Devon’s four local Community Safety Partnerships (CSPs) which conduct work in the following areas:
- East and Mid Devon
- Exeter
- North Devon and Torridge
- South Devon and Dartmoor (Teignbridge, South Hams and West Devon)
Safer Devon and its partners are committed to supporting Devon’s communities through preventing and tackling community safety issues which negatively affect local people and communities, such as crime, hidden and visible harm and exploitation.
This website provides information about what we are doing to make Devon’s communities even safer as well as how to access support and advice if you are affected by a community safety issue.
