Community safety is about making sure you are safe and feel safe wherever you live, work or visit. It brings together all the things that go to make an area 'safe' - from catching criminals to preventing anti-social behaviour and from reducing drug and alcohol abuse to supporting victims of domestic abuse.
Working together to keep you safe
Community safety involves a wide range of organisations and, in the Wokingham borough, these are brought together in the Community Safety Partnership.
What you can do to keep yourself and your community safe
Wokingham borough is a 'low' crime, but not a 'no' crime areas and there are simple ways you can help keep yourself and your community safe.
The best way to keep your community safe is to get involved and there are plenty of ways you can do that. Visit the Directgov crime prevention webpage for more.
There are also simple ways to make yourself safer and Thames Valley Police's crime prevention webpages provides expert advice.
Reporting a problem
In case of an emergency, always call 999.
For non-emergency issues, you can call the police on 101 or report it online at Thames Valley Police's reporting incidents webpage.
The borough council plays a leading role in combating anti-social issues, such as graffiti and fly-posting, abandoned cars and fly-tipping and dumped rubbish and these can be reported online via the Report It page.
It is also important that you report hate crime and domestic abuse when you suspect they are happening.
