The Douglas Community Safety Partnership is a community alliance between Douglas Borough Council, Isle of Man Constabulary and the Isle of Man Government working together to improve the quality of life in the Borough.
The partnership is led by a senior police officer based at Douglas Town Hall, from where he chairs the steering group comprising Council officials, representatives from the Departments of Economic Development, Community, Culture & Leisure, Education & Children, Environment, Food & Agriculture, and members of the Isle of Man Fire and Rescue Service and the Constabulary.
The partnership was born out of the Douglas Charter and the improved working relationship forged with Douglas Neighbourhood Policing Team and brings together a broad range of stakeholders to ensure a cohesive operating strategy that looks at matters including fire safety, parking, transport, litter, street cleanliness, antisocial behaviour and vandalism.
The partnership directly supports the Council’s ‘Cleaner, Safer, Greener’ charter, the key of aim of which is to ‘continually seek to improve the quality of life within the Borough’.
Local authorities in the UK have a statutory duty to work with other local agencies and organisations within a community safety framework. This is not mandatory in the Isle of Man. However, as a responsible local authority Douglas Borough Council entered into the community safety partnership voluntarily.
