Response to NI Policing Board Consultation for District Policing Partnerships

NICVA believes that the introduction of Community Planning under the Review of Public Administration allows an opportunity to examine how all of our existing structures can be made more integrated and thus more effective in delivering outcomes for communities.

The exploration of possibilities for community safety and DPP structures and the recognition of their common agenda and areas of overlap is welcome. However, the community safety agenda is broader than the operational issues of policing.
