Agenda item

The Committee received a report of the Commissioner providing an update on recent community engagement activities, community priorities and forthcoming events.

The Commander referenced the mention of Centre for the Protections of the National Infrastructure (CPNI) pilot scheme, advising that the pilot was currently on its last day and early indications were that it had been a success, with a further update to be provided in the New Year.

On the issue of suicides in the City, it was advised that the Force was now working jointly with the Samaritans in an effort to provide services and reach people in the workplace, which it was hoped would help alleviate some of the problems. It was noted that this work would be picked up by the new Health & Wellbeing Board.

The work of the Safer City Partnership was also referenced, and the Lead Member commented that he would like to see the direction of the Partnership’s work included in the report in future.
