Crime - support and assistance
We've been working harder than ever, patrolling your
neighbourhood, fighting crime, cleaning the streets and punishing
criminals.
In fact Rochdale borough is the safest it's ever been. Crime
figures are at their lowest since the start of the Rochdale Safer
Communities Partnership in 2000. This partnership brings together
over 30 local agencies, including the police and council, committed
to tackling crime and disorder in the borough.
Rochdale’s safer and we can prove it!
Last year we reduced over overall crime acorss the
borough by 11.3% compared the previous year.
Our biggest successes include:
- Serious acquisitive crime fell by 14.8% (these
are crimes such as home burglaries, car theft, theft from car and
robbery)
-
Criminal damage fell by 24.0% (this is the
deliberate damage to or the destruction of public or private
property)
-
Anti-social behaviour fell by 19.3% - this
reduction compared to the previous year makes us the most improved
area of Greater Manchester.

RSCP Safer Communities Strategy 2008 - 2011
Every three years the
RSCP
is required to
conduct an audit, and then develop and implement a strategy to
reduce crime, disorder, and drug misuse. Information is gained from
a wide range of sources to give a picture of the levels and
patterns of these issues across the borough. The strategy will
direct the partnership in tackling the identified issues and areas
of concern relating to crime and disorder and to improve the
quality of life in the borough by addressing associated drug and
alcohol misuse.
