Community Safety

Issues facing Reading’s communities can only be tackled effectively when each statutory partner agency with a responsibility for reducing crime, fear of crime and disorder plays its part.

This is the essence of the Reading Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership (CDRP), more commonly known as the Safer Reading Partnership, which includes:

• Reading Borough Council
• Thames Valley Police, Reading Local Police Area
• Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service
• National Probation Service, Thames Valley area
• Berkshire West Primary Care Trust
