Newcastle is one of the safest cities in England and Safe Newcastle is committed to make it even safer for those who live, work, visit or socialise here.
Our aim is to create better lives and stronger communities by reducing crime, anti-social behaviour, alcohol misuse and the supply and use of drugs throughout the city.
By listening to the concerns of local people we have put in place a range of actions to improve community safety, the health and wellbeing of individuals and families and community confidence and will continue to look at new ways to do this.
Safe Newcastle have produced a three-year strategy to show how we are going to do this between 2009-12. Follow this link for our new strategy.
