Commentary on Sections

Part 3: Policing and Community Safety Partnerships

Section 33: Other community policing arrangements

This section allows policing committees, with the Policing Board’s approval, to make arrangements to facilitate consultation by the police with any local community within their district. If it appears to the Policing Board that this has not been done the Board itself may make arrangements to facilitate consultation by the police with that local community. The Policing Board may pay reasonable expenses of any body set up to achieve the consultation. The Chief Constable shall be consulted to ensure the arrangements are satisfactory.
