POLICE AND COMUNITIES TOGETHER

WHAT IS PACT?

 

The Chief Constable is introducing throughout Lancashire a new way of ensuring that     community problems are identified and tackled.

In essence, it is proposed that in each Ward area, a representative group of people is formed who will meet to prioritise and monitor activities in the area.

This group may include people such as:

· Residents ( and resident associations)

· Councillors

· Faith Leaders

· Police Community Beat Managers

· Police Community Support Officers

· Housing Officials

· Local Business Owners

· Youth Organisations / Workers

 

The group will prioritise and monitor activities towards solving problems that are raised by the community. The Police will be required to report back to monthly meetings and show what has been done to improve things or explain why activities could not take place.

These priorities will form the basis of what your Community Police Staff will do and it gives the public a direct say on Policing in the area. In addition it is anticipated that partnerships will be formed to contribute to the solutions.

 A BRIEFING NOTE FOR OUR PARTNERS

 

As part of the Government’s Police Reform agenda, every police force in the country is required to develop and implement a model of Neighbourhood Policing.  The Government does not specify a model but is working closely with the Association of Chief Police Officers to develop a framework that encompasses a set of key principles that all forces will adopt as part of its local model of Neighbourhood Policing.

 

Lancashire Constabulary has commenced work across the county to develop our model of Neighbourhood Policing.  The first stage of implementation is intended to take place in September 2005.  This briefing note highlights the key features of Neighbourhood Policing. It sets out what the Constabulary’s approach is going to be so that you are aware of the steps we are taking with the intention that, wherever possible, we can work with you – our partners – at this very early stage in the process to complement any plans you are developing for the creation of confident and secure communities.
