Buckinghamshire Community Safety Newsletter June 2021

The Buckinghamshire Community Safety Newsletter keeps residents informed about the activities of the Community Safety Partnership across the county.

The newsletter, formerly a monthly publication, is now produced every quarter, and this edition is jam-packed with useful information.

Click to open the Community Safety Newsletter and read more about:

The ‘Safer Buckinghamshire Coordinating Group’ has agreed a third-party reporting service needs to be implemented in Buckinghamshire.
  • Nitrous Oxide (NOS) – The Facts: what is it, what are its effects, what is the Law, other dangers for example from discarded canisters.
