Safer York Partnership brings together organisations and people who can make a difference in the city's fight against crime. North Yorkshire Police and City of York Council are key organisations in this fight and graffiti is a priority for all partners.
The presence of graffiti increases the perception of an unsafe area of crime, it encourages further graffiti and is a form of antisocial behaviour that will not be tolerated in York. Graffiti is a crime and by coordinating the efforts and information provided by key partners we can clean up the city, increase the number of successful prosecutions for criminal damage and improve the quality of life for those who live and visit York.
This website holds a secure database for this specific purpose, so that partners can work together more effectively to reduce crime and disorder and the fear of crime.
