Policing and Community Safety Partnership (PCSP)

Policing and Community Safety Partnerships in Belfast

Policing and Community Safety Partnerships (PCSPs) work to make communities safer and make sure that the voices of local people are heard. Belfast has one overarching Policing and Community Safety Partnership and four District Policing and Community Safety Partnerships (North, South, East and West).

Each partnership is made up of elected and independent members and representatives from statutory organisations.

PCSPs build safer, shared and confident communities by:

• engaging and consulting with residents, stakeholders and community groups to improve policing and community safety
• working in partnership with local communities, partners and agencies
• monitoring performance and being transparent about achievements, and
• encouraging cooperation with, and inspiring confidence in, the justice system and the police.

Action Plans

The Belfast Policing and Community Safety Partnership Action Plan for 2025-2026 was developed by its members. The plan was produced with analysis of relevant statistics, information provided by statutory partners, and consideration of ongoing citywide engagement about policing and community safety issues. 

The plan is shaped around these key themes:

• anti-social behaviour
• alcohol and drug use
• domestic and sexual violence and abuse
• improve community safety
• hate crime
• effective communication and engagement
• feel safe
• feel safe – city centre
• road safety
• confidence in policing

Belfast PCSP commissioned Ulster University to conduct a strategic assessment to inform the Belfast Policing and Community Safety Partnership's Strategic Direction and Action Plans 2025-2028.

To ask for a copy of the Action Plan, the Strategic Assessment, or for more information on any of the projects that fall within these themes, email [email protected].

Annual reports, Equality schemes and Disability Action Plans

Current and previous annual reports are available detailing the range of projects delivered across the city. Each District PCSP also produces an Equality Scheme and annual Disability Action Plan.

You can ask for copies of these documents by emailing [email protected].
