WELCOME...
We would like to
begin by mentioning that the
district of Tendring is one of the safest places to live in the UK.
Essex has one of the lowest
crime rates in England and within the county, Tendring Police
Division stands out as a beacon of success.
Home Office figures show
that only four police forces of the 40 in England had a lower crime
rate than Essex.
Although the figures are
good the Tendring Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership (CDRP) is
still striving to combat crime.
The
Tendring CDRP has a
mission
statement to
reduce both the
incidence
and
fear of crime and
disorder
and
make
the area
a
safer place to live.

The
Crime and Disorder Act came into force in July 1998 and required
CDRPs to be set up in each District in England and Wales. The Act
placed an obligation on local authorities and the police, (amongst
others,) to work together to develop and implement a strategy to
tackle crime and disorder in their area.
Under the Act and the
subsequent Police Reform Act 2002, Tendring District Council, Essex
Police (Tendring
Division), Essex County Council, Essex Police Authority, Essex Fire
Authority and Tendring Primary Care Trust have been designated
'Responsible Authorities' and are held accountable for this work.
Together they have formed the Responsible Authorities Group to
oversee the development of a crime and disorder reduction strategy
for the Tendring district.

This required a comprehensive
audit of crime and disorder within the district and the preparation
of a strategy to make the district a safer place to live,
work and visit. See the Strategy
Page for full audit.
The partnerships strategy came into force
in April 2008 and to complement this strategy, action plans
are developed each year by a CDRP Steering Group made up of
various statutory and voluntary organisations.
The Steering Group is responsible for the
delivery of these action plans and for reporting on progress to the
Responsible Authorities Group against agreed targets.
Annual action plans provide practical
solutions to reduce crime and the fear of crime and to tackle
the underlying causes of crime. The partners make full use
of the resources available to them from their within own organisations
and additional funding is provided by the Home Office.
