StreetSafe reporting tool

In September 2021 StreetSafe was launched as part of the VAWG (Violence Against Women and Girls) campaign.

This is a non-crime reporting tool hosted on Police.uk  for members of the public to anonymously pinpoint public places which make them feel unsafe and say why.

NWP had over 200 hits but we haven’t had any public use of it since April 2022.

Although the initial intention is to help combat VAWG, it evidently has subsequent potential to highlight further issues in our communities that may need tackling. This includes particular locations and factors that lead to people feeling unsafe and/or might help offenders either commit or conceal a crime – such as street lighting, abandoned buildings or poorly designed spaces, vandalism, as well as behaviours of individuals or groups of people.

This will assist with understanding our communities’ concerns and can be used alongside other available data to aid decision making.

This is an anonymous facility and users are  informed from the outset that it is not a crime recording tool.  Users will be directed to the right channels and guidance, including online crime reporting services, 101 and 999, should they need to report an incident.
