Local Community Safety Partnership Administrator
The Role The Department of Justice has developed a community safety policy based on a key principle that policing is not the responsibility of the police alone and involves other agencies of Government such as health and social services. The Community Safety Policy proposes a whole-of-government approach to community safety. At the heart of this policy is the principle that every community has the right to be and feel safe in order to thrive and flourish. This new approach will be delivered through Local Community Safety Partnerships (LCSPs), supported through a national governance structure. This structure will ensure that communities are empowered to have a strong say in what actions are prioritised by the services operating in their area and will also have a key oversight role in ensuring those actions are followed through. The Local Community Safety Partnership Administrator (LCSP Administrator) is a support or supervisory position within the Operations Directorate, Fingal County Council.
