Safer Bristol Board

In order to reduce crime and make all areas of Bristol feel safe we will concentrate on the following priorities:

- Prioritise crime hotspots and put in place crime prevention projects,

- Tackle the impacts of substance misuse and ensure people have access to drug and alcohol treatment,

- Tackle violent crime, especially in the city centre and continue to promote the reporting and reduction of domestic violence, and

- Put more emphasis on the reduction of re-offending, particularly young offenders. 

You Said - We Did!

Crime in Bristol has been falling steadily over the last 2 years - but people are not feeling any safer. This is why Safer Bristol have been running a publicity campaign in partnership with the Bristol Evening Post.

Each month, the paper highlights concerns from residents, and what the Police have done about it. The campaign has been very successful, so much so that it has been noted by the Audit Commission as an example of Best Practice.
