“Working Together for a Safer Harlow.”
The Safer Harlow Partnership is a partnership of organisations
and groups working together to reduce crime, disorder and the
misuse of drugs in the town. It is led by Harlow Council, Essex
Police, Essex County Council, Harlow Primary Care Trust, and Essex
Fire & Rescue Service (Responsible Authorities), but includes
many other local bodies such as Probation, Victim Support, the
Youth Offending Team, Essex Youth Service, Neighbourhood Watch and
residents groups. It is a sub-group of the Harlow 2020 Local
Strategic Partnership.
The Partnership is known as a Crime and Disorder Reduction
Partnership (CDRP). The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 requires these
to be set up within each district in England and Wales. Each CDRP
is required to conduct an audit of crime and disorder in their area
every three years, leading to the production and publication of a
three crime and disorder reduction strategy. The current audit and
strategy are shown within this website, where you can see detailed
crime data, the public’s crime priorities and the 3 year Strategy
2005-08.
The Safer Harlow Partnership is supported by five Priority
Groups, each of which is responsible for producing an annual action
plan, containing targets to achieve the Strategy objectives. Each
priority group is chaired by one of the Responsible Authority
representatives as follows:
- Anti-Social Behaviour Group – Chair, Malcolm Morley, Chief
Executive, Harlow Council.
- Crime Group – Chair, Superintendent, Steve Graysmark, Harlow
Police.
- Fear of Crime / Hygiene & Safety of the Environment Group –
Chair, Divisional Officer, Ray Skinner, Essex Fire and Rescue.
- Drugs & Alcohol Group – Chair, Alison Cowie,
Associate Director, Harlow Primary Care Trust.
- Hate Crime Group (racial, homophobic) - Chair, Peter
Pearson, Essex County Council
- Domestic Violence sub-group – Chair, Peter Woollard, Essex
Probation Service
