Working Together to Make Doncaster Safer

Everyone would like to live in a safe community where there is no fear of becoming a victim of crime and where they can feel safe in their homes and going about their daily lives. Community Safety concerns us all – from individuals and families, to communities and organisations. By working together we stand the best chance of making Doncaster a safer place to live work and play in.  

The Community Safety Team are working to promote safer, stronger, sustainable communities. The team works alongside the Police, Fire Authority, NHS, and voluntary sector as part of the Safer Doncaster Partnership, aiming to reduce crime and improve the quality of life for residents of Doncaster.
