The
Safer Wolverhampton Partnership (SWP) is a statutory body formed
under the 1998 Crime and Disorder Act, which also operates as the
city’s Local Police and Crime Board. Membership consists of a
range of statutory and non-statutory partners who provide cross
sector representation from a range of agencies who come together to
tackle crime and community safety issues across the city. The SWP
receives an annual funding stream to commission projects,
interventions and posts to deliver strategic crime and community
safety priorities across Wolverhampton, however the main focus
remains on collaborative working and influence of mainstream
services. Membership is made up of a range of statutory, third
sector, business sector and resident
representatives.
