Local Community Safety Partnerships (LCSP) represent a significant step towards a more collaborative, responsive, and locally driven model of public safety and will play a major role in enhancing public safety alongside An Garda Síochána, residents, businesses and state agencies.

On 31 July 2025, the National Office for Community Safety circulated Guidance for the Operation of Local Community Safety Partnerships to Chief Executives of local authorities and their staff to support the establishment of the LCSP in their administrative area. A copy of the guidance was also sent to the Association of Irish Local Government on the same date, for onward circulation to their members.

I signed regulations which came into effect on 30 June 2025, that provide for the establishment of Local Community Safety Partnerships in each local authority area across the country. These regulations set out how Local Community Safety Partnerships will operate in practice, transparently and efficiently, with a clear mandate and strong local engagement at their core.
