Limerick City and County Council invites applications from suitably qualified persons, who wish to be considered for inclusion on a panel from which temporary vacancies for Local Community Safety Partnership Community Safety Warden may be filled throughout the lifetime of the panel.

The establishment of a Community Safety Warden Scheme in Limerick City & County Council is an innovative proposal to support uniformed Gardaí with a high visibility presence of Community Safety Wardens. The intention is that these community champions will be the conduit in facilitating safer communities by ensuring that everyone feels safe as their visible presence deters crime and supports the creation of a safe and resilient City Centre community.  Our wardens will not replace Gardaí, but by building relationships between the community stakeholders, visitors to our City will see increased vibrancy and reduced anti-social behaviour.

The scope of the Community Safety Wardens will be to provide a visible presence, foster communication with stakeholders and signposting of relevant services to the community. This Scheme will promote community, business, State agency and voluntary sector engagement on safety and to reimagine a pro social space that is safe for all users of the space. The Wardens have no enforcement capacity and will report any criminal activity observed to An Garda Síochána and keep a record of the report and the response time.

The scheme will establish effective grassroots communication with state and community services, including detached youth workers, An Garda Siochána, local drug and alcohol programmes and Limerick City & County Council in its management. This will allow for effective and time critical management of community relevant safety issues as they arise.
