Reconstitution of District Policing Partnerships

Policing affects everyone in our society. We all expect and deserve a police service that meets our needs and we all have a responsibility to work with the police to help make our neighbourhoods safer.

No one knows or understands what your community wants from its police service more than the people who live and work there. If you want to make a real difference to how your area is policed, you should consider joining your local District Policing Partnership (DPP) as an Independent Member.

The reconstitution process is officially due to begin with adverts in the media around the first week in November.  In the meantime, a series of information events to highlight the District Policing Partnerships (DPP’s) role and the reconstitution have been organised.

The Board has a responsibility to ensure that each DPP is as reflective as possible of the community it serves, taking account of many groups of people, for example community background, gender, age and other categories. 

Historically, in some areas women and young people have been under-represented and we would like to address this and encourage them to consider applying for their local DPP and through that become involved in influencing policing priorities and targets.
