Policing and Community Safety Partnership

Antrim and Newtownabbey Policing and Community Safety Partnership (PCSP) is one of eleven Policing and Community Safety Partnerships established under the Justice Act (NI) 2011 and is aligned to the Antrim and Newtownabbey Borough Council area. The aim is to empower communities to develop solutions in partnership to tackle crime, fear of crime and anti-social behaviour. 

The PCSP aims to improve community safety by:

  • Engaging and consulting with local people to help improve policing and community safety
  • Identifying and prioritising issues of concern and working in partnership to tackle these issues
  • Monitoring the performance of police and work to gain the co-operation of the public in preventing crime
  • Delivering a range of programmes or interventions in partnership with local communities and partner agencies to enhance community safety by impacting on crime, fear of crime and anti-social behaviour

Antrim and Newtownabbey PCSP strive to help make communities safer and ensure the voices of local people are heard on local policing and community safety issues. 

Many community safety issues cannot be resolved in isolation and the PCSP is very keen to gather the views of, and connect with, members of the local community to ensure that it’s projects; interventions and initiatives are correctly targeted to have a positive impact on the most pressing issues and concerns of those living and working in the Borough as well as visitors to the Borough.
