About Us
The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 requires public bodies to work
together in reducing crime and disorder through forming
partnerships, devising strategies for crime reduction and action
plans to ensure effective delivery.
The Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership in Maidstone is the
'Safer Maidstone Partnership. The idea behind multi-agency
working is that together we can do more than we can alone.
The Partnership meets regularly both as a whole group and
through its 4 sub-groups, see 'Structure of the Partnership'. SMP's
role is largely defined through the Crime and Disorder Reduction
Strategy, this involves;
- Monitoring progress against the Strategy
- Ensuring that all relevant agencies are involved in
projects
- Managing partnership funding
- Taking decisions on multi-agency crime reduction
initiatives
The 2007 - 2008 Action Plan
This is the third year of the 2005-2008 Crime and Disorder

crime and disorder and give information on the progress against
those targets.
