PACT

Police and Communities Together otherwise known as PACT meetings provide the public with the opportunity to meet regularly with their local Community Beat Manager to discuss policing issues affecting areas where they live. PACT is a new way of engaging communities and provides them with clear information about how they can get in touch with their local CBM or PCSO and provide a way in which these officers can be tasked with the communities they serve. PACT will ensure that during the first week of every month there will be a  public meeting in the CBM's/PCSO's area. This will now prevent officers holding more meetings but represents a minimum standard and the knowledge that during one particular week of the month all our CBMs and PCSOs will be available to their communities right across the Constabulary.

Once the PACT meeting has taken place, which any member of the public can attend to talk to their local CBM/PCSO on various policing issues that may be affecting them; the PACT panel will meet to decide those tasks that the local officer will concentrate on in the forthcoming month.
