Background
The Lichfield District Community Safety Partnership was set up as a result of the Crime and Disorder Act in 1998 to bring together responsible bodies (such as the Police, Fire and Rescue Service and local authorities) with other partners to help protect their local communities from crime and disorder.
The Community Safety Partnership produces a community safety delivery plan, refreshed every year, which sets out our priorities for the district. The key priorities for the district for 2024/2025, as identified in the strategic assessment are:
Identified priorities are as follows:

- Community Cohesion & Tackling Extremism
- Domestic Abuse
- Drugs & County Lines
- Fraud

The Staffordshire Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner provides funding for all districts, boroughs and Stoke on Trent City Council to support projects which will deliver against these priority areas.
