They are a testament to the hard work and dedication of all of the partners involved in helping to make Carlisle and Eden among the safest places to live in the country.

Helping to make the area one of the safest places in which to live, work and visit.’’

North Cumbria Chief Superintendent Andy Davidson said:

" these figures demonstrate that we are working hard to address local people’s concerns and reduce the fear of crime, reducing Anti-Social Behaviour figures by a total of 18% for the whole of North Cumbria on the same period last year is a significant achievement. Another example of positive action taken with our partners to make the residents of Carlisle and Eden feel safe and secure.’’
