Safer Sunderland Partnership

The Safer Sunderland Partnership is tackling crime, disorder, fear of crime and substance misuse to ensure that everyone in Sunderland is, and feels, safe and secure.

To find out about how we will do this, you can view our 15 year  Safer Sunderland Strategy for 2008-2023 [1Mb]. It sets out what we believe will make Sunderland the safest it has ever been and will give you a real expectation of what we can do by working together to make Sunderland be safe and feel safe.

These pages also gives you lots of advice and information about how to keep you and your property safe.
