Get Involved Campaign Launch Day
Saturday 21 November 2009
Hove Town Hall
From 10am to 5pm
Do you want to get involved in local democracy or make a difference to your local community?
If so, come along to the launch of our Get Involved campaign at Hove Town Hall on Saturday 21 November. We’ll be devoting the whole day to showing you how you can be involved with the council, health and emergency services and in your community.
What's happening on the launch day?
‘Not in My Neighbourhood Week’.

Monday 2nd – Friday 6th November 2009
This week of action gives local agencies such as the Police & other services involved in community safety, the opportunity to tell residents what work is being done in their local area to make your community a safer place to live.
We will be holding a Community Safety Event to give you an opportunity to meet & learn more about services in your area that are working to tackle crime & anti-social behaviour. There will be a number of stands for you to browse around with advice & information about how you can play your part in community safety. Here’s your chance to find out what we’re doing to keep you safe, & for you to tell us what concerns you the most!

Neighbourhood Policing Teams (NPT)
Neighbourhood Policing in Brighton and Hove is delivered by ten Neighbourhood Policing Teams (NPT) across the City, each of which is managed by a Police Sergeant. They are made up of police officers and Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs), supported by Special Constables. These NPTs are divided into three Neighbourhood Policing Areas, each led by a Police Inspector. A Chief Inspector has overall responsibility for this delivery.
designated public places order
There has been a great deal of confusion about the designated public places order in Brighton & Hove since it’s introduction and the aim of this article is to correct a few of the misconceptions you may have.
The designated public places order (DPPO) was introduced in Brighton & Hove in 2003 to tackle anti social behaviour related to street drinking. The DPPO gives the police the power to request that a person hands over their drink if they are found being anti social on the street with alcohol in their possession. Failure to hand over a drink when asked to do so by a police officer is a criminal offence and can result in arrest and on conviction a maximum £500 fine.
