Sound the Alarm on Perception
We've taken two surveys to gauge perceptions of safety in our city, cross-referencing the results with Oxford Partnership data. This helps us zero in on the areas that need our attention the most.
Feel the Warmth of Safe Havens
With 43 Safe Haven locations scattered across the city, you'll never feel lost or in danger. They offer a cozy, temporary refuge for anyone who needs a helping hand on their way home.

Need a little extra help on a wild night out? No worries, we've got 210 venues ready to assist anyone who feels uneasy. Angela's discreet signal lets them connect with someone who can lend a helping hand.
Grab the Gold
Our efforts have not gone unnoticed. We've been awarded the OSPA for the Community Security Partnership and the Security Partnering Initiative of the Year at the Security & Fire Excellence Awards.
Many Thanks to Our Pals
