Community Safety Partnerships (CSPs) were set up as statutory bodies under the Crime and Disorder Act 1998 with further regulation being provided by the Police Reform Act 2002 and the Police and Justice Act 2006. Bedfordshire has three CSPs, one for Bedford Borough, Central Bedfordshire and Luton Borough Councils.
