The Council, Police and others work together in the Redbridge Community Safety Partnership to reduce crime and make Redbridge safer. A new approach to neighbourhood policing and a dedicated Anti-Social Behaviour team have helped to have a significant impact on making Redbridge a safer place to live. In fact the average number of crimes was lower here than in any inner or outer London Boroughs. 

In the last year:

• violent crime fell by 11%
• all reported crimes were down 13%
• motor crime dropped 24% and retail theft was reduced by 20% 
• 23 ASBOs and 23 anti-social behaviour contracts were issued last year
• racial incidents have fallen by one-third
• our youth offending team is regarded as one of the best in the country

Redbridge has one of the lowest levels of crime in London and the council is working closely with the local police to help make Redbridge even safer.  The borough's 21 safer neighbourhoods help to ensure the police maintain a local focus and develop local knowledge.
