Community Wardens were introduced to the Moray Council area in July 2004. They are line managed by the antisocial behaviour co-ordinator and are briefed on a daily basis by Grampian Police.
The introduction of the Community Wardens is intended to:
- Reduce crime and the fear of crime
- Reduce vandalism and antisocial type behaviour
- Improve the environmental quality
- Assist in building community pride
The Community Wardens are not intended to substitute Police Officers, however it is important that they receive the confidence and support of the communities as they perform their duties.
In line with the Antisocial behaviour etc (Scotland) Act 2004, the Community Wardens are responsible for investigating any antisocial behaviour committed by an owner occupier (whereas any antisocial behaviour committed by Council tenants or housing association tenants would be dealt with by Housing Officers of the Council or Registered Social Landlords (RSL's) respectively).
They are capable of providing a professional witness service and all wardens are trained in Restorative Justice principles and deliver restorative justice warnings for Grampian Police throughout Moray. They are trained in mediation techniques, enabling them to deal with low-level neighbour disputes across all tenure, and they are trained and authorised to issue fixed penalty notices for litter, dog fouling and fly tipping offences, the first Community Wardens in Scotland to have this authority.
