Community Safety

A priority for every community is to ensure that it is a safe place to live, work and play.

The Community Safety Network brings together voluntary and community organisations who have an interest in community safety issues. It is represented in the Dundee Community Safety Partnership and meets regularly at Number Ten, 10 Constitution Road, Dundee DD1 1LL.
