The Community Safety Team.
Exeter’s Community Safety Team is working with city partners to tackle antisocial behaviour, enhance public safety, and create a more welcoming city centre.
The Initiative.
The initiative for the Community Safety Team was launched earlier this year through a collective investment by Exeter City Council and InExeter, supported by additional funding from the Police and Crime Commissioner as part of a larger hotspot policing initiative across Devon and Cornwall. The team’s establishment is part of a broader effort to boost the city’s vitality, promote economic growth, and ensure that Exeter remains a safe and enjoyable place to live, work, and visit.

The Team.
The Community Safety Team in Exeter was established to address issues of antisocial behavior (ASB) and enhance the overall safety of the city centre. The team conducts regular patrols in areas identified as ASB hotspots, providing a visible deterrent to unwanted activities while reassuring residents and businesses. Their efforts represent a collaborative, multi-agency approach that includes partnerships with the city’s CCTV control room, Exeter’s neighbourhood policing team, Exeter Business Against Crime (EBAC), and the business improvement district, InExeter. These partnerships aim to connect local law enforcement, businesses, and the public, creating a safer and more welcoming environment for everyone in the city center. The Community Safety Team also enforces the Public Space Protection Order (PSPO), targeting issues such as street drinking and aggressive begging.
