The role of the Safe Schools and Communities Team is to provide a visible, accessible, and familiar presence to young people; in order to promote positive engagement, reduce victimisation of young people and reduce offending by young people.
The SSCOs are responsible for delivering the core work of the SSCT including education in schools on Force priorities, co-ordination and maintenance of restorative justice interventions, youth engagement, crime prevention and interventions.
They provide specialist advice and support to neighbourhood police teams, schools and partner agencies aimed at reducing and preventing crime and anti-social behaviour.
