Justice Seen, Justice Done - Community Crime Fighters
Crime is tackled most effectively when local people work together with the police and other criminal justice agencies.
The Community Crime Fighters programme was announced by the former Home Secretary, Jacqui Smith, in September 2008. It aims to develop stronger links between crime–fighting agencies and the communities they serve. Community Crime Fighters are members of the public who are already actively involved in their communities and want to do or know more.
The Community Crime Fighters training provides an opportunity to learn:
- What the Policing Pledge means locally
- The tools and powers local authorities could and should be using to tackle anti-social behaviour and crime
- The help provided to victims and witnesses of crime and anti-social behaviour
- Ways to get the best out of local crime fighting agencies
