Safer Buckinghamshire Strategy

In Buckinghamshire, this work is led through the Safer Buckinghamshire Partnership Board, bringing together key organisations to tackle crime, anti-social behaviour and harm, protect vulnerable people and help make our communities safer and stronger.

Our Safer Buckinghamshire Partnership Strategy 2026 to 2031 sets out our shared vision to ensure Buckinghamshire remains one of the safest places in the country to grow up, raise a family, live, work and do business.

The strategy has been shaped by analysis of crime and disorder across Buckinghamshire, alongside local intelligence and the views of residents, businesses, children and young people. This helps us focus partnership activity on the issues causing the greatest harm and those that most affect how safe people feel in their communities.

Our 6 priorities for 2026 to 2031 are:

• neighbourhood crime and shoplifting
• anti-social behaviour
• fraud and scams
• preventing harm and exploitation
• community cohesion
• domestic abuse and violence against women and girls (VAWG)

Across all 6 priorities, we will also consider the impact of drugs and alcohol and offending, recognising that these issues can contribute to crime, vulnerability and harm across our communities.

We know that community safety is about more than recorded crime. How safe people feel is also influenced by anti-social behaviour, the condition of local environments, online activity, confidence in public spaces and people’s sense of belonging within their communities.

We will work with our communities and partners across Buckinghamshire to prevent crime and harm, intervene early, safeguard vulnerable people, support victims and take proportionate enforcement action where needed. We will listen to local communities and adapt our approach as risks and concerns change.
