TASKING

North Wing Kingdom House Saltire Centre Glenrothes, KY6 2AQ, UK

Partner Agencies Include
Fife Community Safety Partnership
Fife Police
Fire Service
RSL’s
Victim Support Fife
NHS Fife
Fife Council Education/Social Work Service Environmental 
Services Housing and Local Services.
The establishment of the Safer Neighbourhoods Tasking 
Group and the adoption of a multi-agency tasking approach, 
involving key local services, combined with effective com-
munity engagement has led to greatly improved community 
perceptions and begun to address the links between antisocial 
behaviour and longer term problems of health inequalities and 
community cohesion.
Monthly meetings use a tasking approach, based on the police 
National Intelligence Model, to gather and manage informa-
tion and make informed and effective decisions.
Community and partnership intelligence is key to the tasking 
process. A tactical assessment document is produced contain-
ing data from all partner agencies.
Allocated tasks cover a range of issues, including youth disor-
der, under age drinking, noise nuisance, neighbour nuisance, 
secondary fi res and hate crime.
The partnership tasking model encourages a move away from 
business as usual by providing effective joint approaches and 
early interventions to reduce the risk of problems escalating 
and by providing support to victims and offenders.
Outcomes
Vandalism offences – 30% reduction
Secondary fi res – 23% reduction
