Appointment of Independent Members

The Northern Ireland Policing Board is looking to appoint 237 Independent Members to the new Policing and Community Safety Partnerships (PCSPs) which are being established across the 26 council areas. PCSPs aim to make a real difference to the local community, making people feel safer and ensuring that the voices of local people on policing and community safety are heard.

The Board are looking for people who can demonstrate an interest in the local community, community safety or policing issues, either through employment, community or voluntary activity.

A copy of the information booklet on PCSPs and an application form is available at www.nipolicingboard.org.uk and further information will be available at the information evening being held in Belfast City Hall on
Monday 23 January from 7pm - 9pm.
