Making Doncaster a Safer City
City of Doncaster Council is working with South Yorkshire Police and other partners on a range of initiatives to help make Doncaster safer, including extra funding and resources under a city-wide safety initiative.
Extra council staff resources and new CCTV measures have been introduced in Doncaster city centre and alongside the police, council staff will join forces and use their powers to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour and to offer help and support to those who need it.
