Community Safety

Safer Reading Campaign logo

Reading's Community Safety Partnership is a partnership between statutory agencies including Reading Borough Council, Thames Valley Police, the Probation Service, Royal Berkshire Fire and Rescue Service and Berkshire West Primary Care Trust.

We aim to make Reading a safer place for those who live work or visit here.

We will do this by:

discouraging criminal and anti-social behaviour
reducing the fear of crime and anti-social behaviour
tackling drug and alcohol related criminality through treatment and enforcement
