As a statutory body and the City's Community Safety Partnership (CSP), SWP performs statutory functions which it delivers to fulfil its legal obligations.

The key underlying theme driving SWP business is its commitment to deliver safer communities for those who live, work and visit Wolverhampton. The approach is intelligence-led; using all available data and information to determine priorities for the coming year. This includes a full commitment to consulting with communities and responding to their needs through a responsive neighbourhood structure as well as strategic decision making to ensure effective forward planning occurs, resources are deployed effectively and partner commitment is secured.

A significant proportion of issues around crime and community safety, cut across a range of themes. Where shared areas of responsibility exist there is a commitment to work collaboratively, adopting openness and transparency, to share intelligence and to communicate. These are the underlying principles of joint working.

Strategic Priorities
Public Place Protection Orders

Public Space Protection Orders (PSPO) are orders made by the local authority under powers which were given to them under the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014.

Such powers make it possible for Local Authorities to deal with a particular nuisance or problem which is detrimental to the local community’s quality of life by imposing conditions on the use of that area which apply to everyone. They are designed to ensure the law-abiding majority can use and enjoy public spaces, safe from anti-social behaviour (ASB) or nuisance.

PSPOs can be used to tackle a variety of issues, consultation with local residents, retailers and communities is always undertaken before implementing a PSPO and using the associated additional powers it provides. 

The PSPO’s currently active in Wolverhampton are:
