PACT meetings
PACT (Police and Communities Together) meetings are held
regularly by your Neighbourhood Policing Team. Members of the
public are always welcome to attend.
Your local Neighbourhood Policing Team holds regular meetings
with members of the community, station staff, retailers and
representatives from train operating companies to help determine
how policing issues in your area can best be tackled.
These meetings give officers the opportunity to talk to
passengers about current issues, and together they set the
policing priorities for their neighbourhood.
What happens at a PACT meeting?
Local issues are identified and policing priorities are set.
Usually, a Neighbourhood Policing Team will have a maximum of three
priorities.
Working with representatives from the local community, our
officers will plan how best to engage with the local community and
how to fulfil each priority.
Officers will also explain what actions have been taken to
resolve issues and together with the community representatives, a
decision will be made on whether a priority has been successfully
dealt with.
How often do PACT meetings take place?
Depending on the size of your neighbourhood PACT meetings can
take place quarterly, or as often as once a month.
