Kirklees Safer Communities Partnership (KSCP):

The Crime and Disorder Act (1998) requires all Councils throughout the UK to establish a Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership (CDRP).

In 2005, Kirklees’ CDRP and Drug Action Team (DAT) merged to form the Kirklees Safer Communities Partnership (KSCP).

The KSCP brings a range of different organisations together to help reduce crime, disorder, substance misuse and the fear of crime.

These partners include organisations such as Kirklees Council, West Yorkshire Police, the Primary Care Trusts and Probation Services. Click here for a full list of our partners.

Every three years, the Partnership undertakes a district wide audit of crime, disorder and drugs. The information obtained from the audit is used alongside an extensive consultation exercise to develop the Kirklees Safer Communities Strategy.
