Crime Prevention
In North Hertfordshire, the North Herts Community Safety Partnership (NHCSP) includes North Hertfordshire District Council, the County Council, Hertfordshire Constabulary Eastern Area, the Police Authority, the Primary Care Trust, Hertfordshire Fire and Rescue and Hertfordshire Probation Trust.
This Partnership has a coordinated approach to tackling and solving crime and disorder issues benefiting the whole community.
Most crime is against property, not people, and not many crimes are carefully planned.
Most crimes are committed on the spur of the moment - possessions left in a car or a door or window to a house left open. But you can reduce the risk by securing your home and car. This will also help the police, by giving them more time to tackle serious crime.
That's good for you and your family - because it makes your neighbourhood a safer place to live in.
The chances that you, or a member of your family will be a victim of crime are low. Crimes and especially violent crimes are still comparatively rare. Nevertheless, many people are frightened that they, or someone close to them, will be the victim of crime.
The best way to minimise the risks of crime are by taking sensible precautions.
Most people already do this as part of their everyday lives, often without realising it. Sensible precautions limit risk and reduce crime.
Hertfordshire Police provide information on their website 
which shows some of the very straightforward ways in which we can reduce crime for ourselves and the community.
