Allerdale and Copeland Crime and Disorder Reduction Partnership
(CDRP)
The CDRP is not a separate legal body in its own
right.
It is a way of working together:
- Discussing issues
- Enabling joint commissioning of
activities to improve outcomes
- Making the best use of partner
resources
Our Local Partners
are:
- Cumbria Constabulary
(Police)
- Cumbria Police Authority (Governing and
budget setting body for local Police)
- Local Authorities (Allerdale Borough
Council, Copeland Borough Council and the County Council – locally
this includes Fire and Rescue who are part of the Cumbria County
Council)
- Cumbria Primary Care Trust (for the
local National Health Service)
Several other organisations are also under a
duty of co-operate but do not have the prime responsibility
function – an example is the local Registered Social Landlords.
Local people and third sector organisations (charities and not
for profit bodies) also contribute to successful partnership
working.
Business and commercial organisations also play their part.
Other statutory bodies can also be invited to join.
How do we decide our priorities?
We bring in the thoughts and ideas of local people and
organisations into the process of strategic assessment - which is
when we look at all the relevant information on crime and disorder.
This includes statistics, trends both locally and nationally and
any changes in the things happening locally or across the region,
country or world. Most of these will be directly related to crime
and disorder but may include other things as well, if they help to
give a more comprehensive picture.
Once the strategic assessment is completed, which is done once a
year the local priorities are decided upon. Again what local people
have said over the course of the year influences our decisions, we
also consider the impact of the different potential priorities.
The priorities for 2010 - 2011 are currently being updated.
