About the Safer Havant Partnership

The Safer Havant Partnership brings together a number of agencies who are responsible for dealing with crime and anti-social behaviour issues throughout the Havant Borough.  These agencies include:

• Havant Borough Council
• Hampshire Constabulary
• Hampshire Fire and Rescue Service
• Hampshire Police Authority
• Hampshire Primary Care Trust
• Hampshire Probation Area
• Hampshire County Council

This year the Partnership are focusing on three important issues, which have been chosen through feedback from local residents and analysis of crime figures throughout the Havant Borough:

Anti-social behaviour, including vulnerable victims of anti-social behaviour

In a recent survey local residents told the Safer Havant Partnership that anti-social behaviour, including litter, vandalism and flytipping could be a nuisance in their local area.  The Safer Havant Partnership has listened to the views of local residents and will be taking action against anti-social behaviour in the year ahead.

Inspector Rob Mitchell of Havant Police commented ‘We recognise that anti-social behaviour can play a major part in affecting the quality of life of our residents. Within Havant we work with our partners all year round to reduce incidents of anti-social behaviour and know our priority areas through listening to community feedback.’

Violence, particularly domestic abuse and assault

Whether it occurs in public or in private, violence is unacceptable and we are determined to do all we can to prevent it.  Although there has been a reduction in assaults in the Havant Borough over the last year, the Safer Havant Partnership recognises that any form of violence has a significant impact on victims, families and communities as a whole.

First-time entrants into the Criminal Justice System aged 11-17

Havant has one of the highest rates of first time entrants to the Criminal Justice System in the whole of Hampshire.  Entering the criminal justice system can have a detrimental effect on a young person's future and their options and the Safer Havant Partnership are committed to tackling this issue and diverting young people from negative behaviour.
