PCSP Events/Campaigns 

The aim of holding events is to deliver a reduction in crime and fear of crime and enhance community safety for all our residents and visitors.

To help make our communities safer PCSP:

• Consults and engages with the local community on the issues of concern in relation to policing and community safety
• Facilitates and supports events focusing on making our communities safer, shared and more confident.  These events are normally themed and are held throughout the year at locations across Council areas
• Organises events including Road Safety, Tackling Rural Crime, Alcohol and Drugs, Celebrating our Young People, Home Safety, Tackling Anti-Social Behaviour
• Delivers events in partnership with statutory agencies and the community

Support Hub –

Support Hubs were established in 2016 as part of the Problem-Solving Justice approach. Each Support Hub helps vulnerable people get access to the right support, at the right time, from the right organisations within their local area. The aim was to have a Support Hub set up to align with each local council area.

The Derry and Strabane Support Hub was established in August 2016 and is chaired by the PCSP manager. Partners in the Hub are PSNI, NI Housing Executive, Western Health & Social Care Trust (WHSCT), Education Authority (EANI), Fire Service (NIFRS), Youth Justice Agency (YJA), Probation Board (PBNI) & Ambulance Service (NIAS).

Members meet monthly but are in daily contact, sharing information and providing support to the most vulnerable in our community.  

SIDs –

Derry and Strabane PCSP have shown their commitment to tackling road safety by investing in Speed Indicator Devices (SIDs) to address speeding concerns in local hotspots.  SIDs are designed to advise motorists in real time of what speed they are driving at and to encourage them to slow down and be wary of the speed limits.  The trailer-mounted SIDs will be placed in locations where speeding is a concern. 

Speed Indicator Devices are an important tool for PCSP to raise awareness and to encourage road users to be safe and sensible when they are travelling.  Public consultations indicate that road safety and speeding are concerns for local residents. Derry and Strabane PCSP work closely with partners to ensure that SIDs are placed in locations where speeding concerns were raised.

If you would like to request a SID in your area, please contact the PCSP Office by emailing [email protected].
