'Good' safety rating for Lambeth after significant crime reduction
The Audit Commission has awarded us the second highest two-star 'good' rating for our community safety services. Find out more by reading the 2007 Lambeth Community Safety Audit.
We work in partnership with the police, probation service, health agencies and other organisations as part of the Safer Lambeth partnership, aiming to reduce crime, improve quality of life and make Lambeth a safer place to live, work and visit.
Our Drug and Alcohol Team is a statutory but non-governmental co-ordinating organisation. It brings together treatment, law enforcement, social, health and other agencies to deliver the National Drugs Strategy in the Lambeth area.

Every three years the Lambeth Community Safety Partnership carries out an audit of crime and the fear of crime in the borough.
