Crime Reduction and Environment Week

What is CREW?

Crime Reduction and Environment Week (CREW) is a multi-agency and community led initiative to tackle residents concerns, environmental issues and criminal activity in a small area.

CREW was initiated by the Police and is now a nationally recognised community and social inclusion event.

The main objective of CREW is to improve the communities in which we work and live.

What Issues Does CREW Tackle?

• Information Advice and Education
• Criminal and Anti-Social Behaviour
• Community Cohesion
• Environmental Issues

Successes of Previous CREW's Include:

• Removal of Rubbish, Litter and Fly-tipping
• Turning an Unused Dumping Group into a Communal Flowerbed
• Painting out Graffiti
• Clearing out Garages
• Clearing out waterways to prevent further flooding

Fun Day

At the end of each event a Fun Day is held for the residents, with plenty of entertainment and free activities.
