The Dartford Community Safety Partnership (CSP) is made up of statutory agencies brought together under a shared responsibility placed upon them by the Crime and Disorder Act 1998. This legislation requires Community Safety Partnerships to tackle crime, disorder, anti-social behaviour, substance misuse, reduce re-offending, prevent people from becoming involved in serious violence, and reduce serious violence.
The Dartford Community Safety Partnership (DCSP) formed in January 2021 and comprises the following members;

The above partner organisations all have a statutory duty to work together to tackle crime and disorder however other agencies that provide essential services are also regularly involved such as Clarion (Domestic Abuse Commissioned Service), Change Grow Live and We Are With You (adult and young person’s substance misuse services).
