Minister for Justice, Home Affairs and Migration, Jim O’Callaghan TD today launched the first national survey on community safety.

Community safety is about being people being safe and feeling safe in their communities. It is not just the responsibility of An Garda Síochána. Instead, community safety needs everyone to be involved. This approach brings the community and a range of public service providers together to identify and respond to issues about community safety in a proactive and joined up way.

We want to make every corner of Ireland a better, safer, more peaceful place for everyone. The National Office for Community Safety, an office of the Department of Justice, Home Affairs and Migration, is developing Ireland’s first National Strategy for Improving Community Safety as part of the Policing, Security and Community Safety Act 2024.

The National Strategy for Improving Community Safety aims to respond to the needs and concerns of communities and help public services and communities work together in a joined-up way to make communities safer.

This survey is to support the public to provide their views on community safety to inform the development of the strategy. This survey is open to anyone living in the Republic of Ireland.
