Local crime and disorder strategies required collaboration between which entities?

• A. Local authorities and police
• B. Local authorities and fire services
• C. Courts and probation
• D. Parliament and government

Answer: (A)

The key idea is that local crime and disorder strategies are a joint responsibility of the local authority and the police. This collaboration brings together the council’s powers and resources with policing to plan, implement, and review actions aimed at reducing crime and disorder in the area. Legally, local authorities have a duty to work with the police to develop and deliver a local strategy, often within a broader partnership that includes other agencies. While other bodies like fire services, courts and probation, or national government may contribute, the essential, required partnership for forming the local strategy is between local authorities and the police.
