The Safer Leicester Partnership (SLP) was formed as a result of the Crime & Disorder Act 1998. The idea behind the Partnership is that no single agency can tackle crime, disorder, or drugs by itself - it takes the joined-up efforts of a number of different agencies to make a real difference to community safety issues in Leicester.

 

The Partnership is made up of a number of different agencies, including Leicester City Council, Leicestershire Constabulary, Leicestershire Fire & Rescue Service, Leicestershire & Rutland Probation Board and local NHS Primary Trusts. The Partnership also includes partners from the private sector, such as the local Chamber of Commerce and the voluntary sector, including victim and witness support services.

 

The SLP operates within a number of key principles as set out in our constitution. In accordance with these, the Partnership is committed to providing a fair and equitable service to everyone in the community regardless of their ethnicity, sexuality, gender, disability, religion or age.

 

We value and respect the diversity that make up the city of Leicester and aim to protect all communities from harm.
