The Redditch Crime and Disorder
Scrutiny Panel was established in
September 2009. The Redditch Crime and
Disorder Scrutiny Panel is Redditch Borough Council’s
designated Committee for scrutinising the work of the local Crime
and Disorder Reduction Partnership, as required by the Police and
Justice Act 2009.
Five Councillors are appointed
to the Panel each year. The Redditch
Crime and Disorder Scrutiny Panel acts as a Sub-Committee of the
Council’s overarching Overview and Scrutiny
Committee. The Panel is designed to
scrutinise the work of the local Crime and Disorder Scrutiny
Partnership (CDRP). The North
Worcestershire Community Safety Partnership is the CDRP for
Redditch.
The Panel has a number of
responsibilities which include: holding the North Worcestershire
Community Safety Partnership to account for its decision making;
scrutinising the performance of the Community Safety Partnership;
and undertaking policy reviews of specific crime and disorder
issues. The Panel can also help to
highlight and challenge people’s perceptions of crime and
disorder in the local area and undertake community engagement and
consultation to establish local people’s priorities for crime
and disorder issues.
The Membership for this
Committee will be determined at the Council AGM on the 21 May
2018.
