The Local Community Safety Partnerships (LCSPs) are currently being formed by councils nationwide and involving gardaí, state agencies and councillors. These have been established by the Government to replace longstanding Joint Policing Committees (JPCs), at which councillors, TDs and Senators discussed local policing decisions and issues with senior and community gardaí. Dublin City Council is setting up five Partnerships – one in each of the five administrative areas of the local authority. Those five areas are South East, South Central, Central, North West and North Central. The council is seeking expressions of interests over the next three weeks from community members to join the LCSP in each area. In a statement today, Dublin City Council said it’s seeking expressions of interest from individuals and organisations who are “passionate about working together to make Dublin safer and more inclusive for all”. The Partnerships previously ran as pilots in Dublin’s north inner city, Waterford and Longford. Advertisement Each LCSP will include a minimum of four residents. Membership is capped at 30 people and representation will include state agencies, including health, social services, local authorities and An Garda Siochána. The community membership will include a minimum of four residents, one youth representative, one business representative, one from the voluntary sector and members of new communities. “Community representation is a vital aspect of making the new community safety approach effective,” the council statement read. It added that the job of the LCSP will be to ensure that community safety is “not the sole responsibility of An Garda Siochána but also involves other key Government agencies working collaboratively” across a range of areas. “This is an opportunity to collaborate with local services and agencies to co-create safer communities for all. Therefore, Dublin City Council is particularly keen to hear from residents, minority and new communities, representatives of community and voluntary organisations and youth groups,” the council said in its statement. Anyone interested is invited to complete the expression of interest form here. The final date for submission is Friday 21 November at 5pm.
