Why do we have a Community and Police Partnership?

The Community and Police Partnership (CPP) encourages communication between the Police and the community in order to develop a mutual understanding of their concerns and priorities. The underlying premise of CPP is that successful policing can only be achieved with the consent and co-operation of the public. 

Who are involved?

The CPP consists of people drawn from the local community and the Police.  It includes representatives of Neighbourhood Watch, Residents’ Associations, Police Liaison Groups, Victim Support, the Independent Custody Visiting Panel and Safer Neighbourhood Teams along with a number of voluntary groups and agencies.  The Council’s Community Safety Partnership, Environmental Planning and Review and Environmental and Operational Services are also represented.

The Community and Police Partnership represents you!

The CPP is independent of both the Police and the Council.  We represent the authentic and informed voice of local people about policing matters.

To represent you as a member of this community effectively, we need to meet you and listen to what you have to say. The CPP welcomes participation from all faith groups, senior citizens and young people, in fact from all members of the community who are willing to take an active role.  Members of the public are invited to attend CPP meetings and question the Police on relevant issues.
