“I’m very excited to have been given this opportunity to widen my
experience and work with other partnerships around the country,”
said Christine. “However, I must admit I’m naturally nervous in
embarking on this new role. It will involve undertaking a lot of
work in some areas which are very different from those I have been
dealing with on a day-to-day basis at the city council. It will,
however, mean that the experience gained in this new role will
ultimately be very beneficial to the local authority and
Peterborough residents.
On a personal level, I will be sad
to say goodbye to so many friends and colleagues I have made during
the past 10 years at the city council. I joined the community safety
team around nine years ago and it continues to play a vital role in
a wide range of areas.”
The community safety team is
responsible for co-ordinating a multi agency response in a number of
areas, including anti-social behaviour, hate crime, domestic
violence, vehicle crime and arson.
In addition, it works in partnership
with many other agencies, including Cambridgeshire Constabulary,
National Probation Service, Drug Action Team, Youth Offending
Service, HMP Peterborough and Victim Support.
Mike Brown, head of environmental
and public protection services at the city council, said: “We are
sorry to lose Christine for the next 12-months. She is a valued
member of staff and her hard work has resulted in the delivery of a
first-class service to Peterborough residents. The fact that she is
joining the Home Office is testament to her commitment and
dedication as community safety manager at the city council.”
