Community Trigger
Brighton & Hove Division is taking part in the Community
Trigger pilot which gives victims and communities the right to
require action is taken where an ongoing anti-social behaviour
problem has not been addressed. It helps us and you by making
sure that no-one suffering the harmful effects of anti-social
behaviour and hate crime falls through the net.
Responding to and tackling anti-social behaviour and hate
motivated incidents are a top priority for Brighton & Hove. The
city has strong mechanisms which allow the police, the council,
housing providers, other organisations and communities to work in
partnership with each other to tackle anti-social behaviour and
hate incidents. At the moment this system is being piloted in four
different areas in England and is an initiative which is led by the
Home Office.
Who can use Community Trigger?

anti-social behaviour or a hate incident / crime and meets the
