What are the Guidelines for the operation of Joint Policing Committees?
These guidelines have been developed by the Policing Authority as part of its statutory role in relation to Joint Policing Committees (JPCs). They replace all previous guidelines, which are now withdrawn.
The Authority believes that JPCs have significant potential as a forum through which communities can engage with matters affecting the policing of their area and work cooperatively to tackle those issues affecting them. These guidelines set out in some detail the purpose and function of JPCs. They provide information for JPC members and the community as to how the committees work.

Local Community Safety Partnership
Local Community Safety Partnerships (LCSPs) will bring all the relevant state services and the community together at local authority level. This will build on the work undertaken through Joint Policing Committees and supplement it by ensuring that all other relevant stakeholders necessary to constitute a more holistic forum for discussion, decisions and action on community priorities are present.
