The past few months have highlighted the significant supplementary security role our local community policing forums (CPFs) play in our communities.
Together with police representatives, a CPF is a committee of people from a group of neighbouring communities who meet regularly to address security problems in their areas.
A CPF aims to:
- Ensure police address the community’s primary security needs.
- Enhance the quality of information available to the police to develop a proactive, solutions-driven approach to security issues
- Provide a visible and accessible policing presence
- Enhance the public’s confidence in the police while deterring criminals
