Community Safety Fund

The Community Safety Fund is a new scheme set up by the East Staffordshire Local Strategic Partnership to address the priorities set out in the 2021-24 Community Safety Plan.

Launched in January 2023, the fund is designed to give local groups and organisations the opportunity to deliver projects and programmes that have a positive impact on one or more of the objectives outline in the 2021-24 Community Safety Plan and contribute to an increased sense of community safety.

Staffordshire Smart Alert

Staffordshire Smart Alert is just one way you can receive community safety information and engage with local policing.

Smart Alert was an idea which emerged from a community engagement event hosted by the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner, Matthew Ellis, and Staffordshire Police. Held with residents, businesses and partners, attendees considered how best the Force could engage with local residents to provide up to date information about things that matter to them.

The system allows you to tailor your alerts to your local area or to your personal interests simply and easily.  Set your personal preferences through the Staffordshire Smart Alert website or the free App and you'll receive up-to-date information either by email if you've registered on the website, or directly through the App.
