Brent Council and Crime

Local authorities have limited authority over crime, but it still gets a section in the Brent Labour manifesto as follows:

A Labour Council will: -

· Provide more PCSOs and demand greater Council control over how and where they are used.
· Involve the wider public in the fight against gun crime.
· Continue to support the Not Another Drop campaign.
· Rigorously use powers to tackle anti social behaviour as part of a victim centred approach.
· Maintain Secure by Design considerations in planning policy.
· Work with local retailers to counter retail crime and anti social behaviour in shopping areas along similar lines to USDAW’s Freedom from Fear campaign.
