The Policing Board has a responsibility to encourage people and partners to work with and support the police in preventing crime. It has an Engagement Strategy which aims to deliver strategic and purposeful engagement with key stakeholders and the wider community and provides a framework to enable the Board to be proactive to community needs in respect of independent oversight of policing.
The Policing Board’s Engagement activities are defined and delivered across 3 distinct strands:
- Strand 1 - Engagement with the Community through Partnership & Collaboration (inc. Sectoral Groups)
- Strand 2 - Engagement with Stakeholders (inc. Statutory Stakeholders)
- Strand 3 - Consultation, Research and Reports
