An important principle of the Group's Constitution is that the Community Representatives will not be self-selected individuals but will be elected and will, therefore, have the confidence and support of the Community. The Group is also very keen that no section of the Community is ignored or overlooked. The Group's Constitution has been designed to reflect the composition of the borough's population. The procedure is simple.
Community groups fill in an application form and register.
At the moment there are no vacancies for elected members but the PCCG does co-opt representatives of organisations on to the Group. Co-opted representatives have to satisfy the same criteria as for elected members. Co-opted members have all the same rights as elected members, except the right to vote at meetings. Once appointed as a co-opted member you will be able to apply to be a full member when the next elections are held. If you answer yes to any of these questions, the Police Community Consultative Group is the place to get your point of view heard.
