Safer Thurrock
Latest initiatives..........
There are many opportunities for residents to become more informed about initiatives or more involved in issues around crime and safety, below are just a few examples:
Neighbourhood policing teams
Essex Police have developed Neighbourhood Action Panels (NAPS) which take place at the Community Forums public meetings across Thurrock. Residents are given the opportunity to raise 3 priorities that they would like to see tackled and can monitor the progress via the Neighbourhood policing team website or by attending the Forum meetings. They also work very closely with the voluntary, community and faith Sector to ensure that their priorities are those that are coming from the community themselves and that more importantly they are feeding back on how they are working with partners to ensure that Thurrock is a safer place to live in.

Anti social Behaviour team
Anti social behaviour is such an important issues for most residents living in Thurrock.No matter where we live a resident will experience anti social behaviour in one way or another. Unfortunately there are no clear definition to what anti-social behaviour is and can also depend on each persons own tolerance levels. There is now a Anti social team established within Thurrock Council who can support communities who are experiencing it at high levels. Concerns can also be shared with your local neighbourhood policing team.
