Safer Islington Partnership

The Safer Islington Partnership (SIP) is responsible for improving community safety and reducing crime across the borough. The Partnership was set up as a result of The Crime and Disorder Act (1998), which introduced local partnerships to address issues of crime and disorder. The primary responsibility is to produce and deliver a crime reduction strategy specifically for Islington.

The Partnership aims to create a stronger, safer community by:

• reducing crime and disorder
• tackling anti-social behaviour
• tackling problems caused by substance misuse
• ensuring people feel safe and have confidence in the criminal justice system

Membership of SIP includes representatives from the statutory and voluntary and community sectors including:

• the Police
• Islington Council
• Islington Primary Care Trust
• the London Fire Brigade
• the Probation Services
• the voluntary and community sector
• the business sector
