The overall purpose of the PCSP is to help make communities safer and to ensure that local people have a voice in policing and community safety issues. The PCSP aims to empower communities to work together to develop practical solutions that reduce crime, fear of crime, and anti-social behaviour.

The PCSP works in partnership with community groups and agencies to plan and deliver community safety projects that are innovative, follow good practice, and meet local needs.

As part of its Community Planning role, the PCSP also acts as the Safety and Good Relations thematic delivery group for the district.
