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.
