What does the Be Safe Partnership do?

The Be Safe Partnership finds out what the people of Bolton think are the highest priority problems to tackle with regards to crime and disorder and drugs. They then put together a plan of how these problems are going to be answered.

There is a smaller group of people, called the Drug Action Team, whose job it is to look at Bolton’s drug problems in more detail and what can be done to reduce them.
