EXPERTS working towards a safer community in West Devon will be presenting their latest findings at a seminar in Tavistock today, (Thursday).
The event will feature six ?hot topics?, ranging from drugs work with young people in the borough to vehicle crime and bogus callers.
During the morning, West Devon?s Domestic Violence outreach project will go ?live? with its new interactive website.
Dartmoor Prison?s resettlement manager Dave Crawford will brief the seminar on the importance of resettlement programmes and an officer from crime reduction charity NACRO will talk about its community safety work.
Other activities throughout the morning will include a visit by Project Cosmic, a mobile community Internet café shaped like a ?space shuttle? which employs young people to teach technology skills.
Tavistock-based charity Youthwize will also be bringing along its Wheelz trailer, which is taken out to rural communities offering counselling and advice to young people.
Gretta Madigan, chair of West Devon Community Safety Partnership which organised the seminar, said the event was an ideal opportunity to be brought up-to-date on the very latest information. ?We have gathered together an excellent group of representatives from community safety organisations within the Borough and beyond. I am sure it will be extremely informative,? she said.
More than 50 people including representatives from the Partnership, the Home Office and councillors from the borough, county, towns and parishes are expected to attend the event in the borough council?s offices at Kilworthy Park.
