The Crime and Disorder Act 1998 (External link) placed a statutory obligation on the District Council, County Council and Police to work together in partnership to tackle crime and disorder and anti-social behaviour problems within their area.

The Act was amended in 2004, and now the Police Authority, the Primary Care Trust and the Fire Service are also statutory partners.
