Building on the previous successes of Oxford City Council's Street
Warden Team, the Community Response Team was launched across Oxford in April 2011.
The Community Wardens' focus is to provide a city-wide, rapid response
investigative service that tackles different categories of anti-social behaviour. The team do this through:
Regular Environmental Visual Audits (EVAs)
The
Community Wardens regularly patrol areas of Oxford, equipped with dictaphones and digital cameras, in order to record,
report and remove issues such as graffiti, littering, fly tipping and dog fouling. Proactive door to door investigations are
carried out to raise awareness of any ongoing problems in the area. Through this work, the team are also able to produce detailed
community intelligence to support crime reduction.
Rapid response to reported incidents of anti-social behaviour
The Community Wardens have
recently acquired a vehicle, which allows rapid, flexible deployment across the city and means the team can provide a same
day response to incidents of anti-social behaviour reported by local residents, council staff or partners. The vehicle
also has CCTV, enabling Wardens to video ongoing incidents.
If you would like to report an incident to the Community
Response Team, please use the online form below.
