Safer Community Wardens

Who are they?

Safer Community Wardens are "the eyes and ears" of the communities and work with local residents to improve their safety and living standards.  They act as a link to other agencies and work closely with area housing teams, Police Scotland, Scottish Fire & Rescue, local schools, youth clubs and voluntary groups in their patrol areas and Tenants & Residents Groups.  They report on any issues/concerns that may have a detrimental affect on the wellbeing of communities. 

Safer Community Wardens patrol their areas on foot and mobile patrol seven days a week including every evening and weekend.  Their uniforms make them very easy to identify and they are delighted when residents stop them to seek advice or just to have a chat.

Safer Community Wardens have instigated several initiatives in the areas where they work to help both young and old residents.
