As a member, residents would provide feedback on policing and the wider service delivery – with the aim to improve the quality of policing by being the critical link between the community and the police.

Members would advise Derbyshire Police on police operations, influence strategies that are designed to target and prevent crime along with sharing their experience and expertise to help build trust with diverse communities.

Anyone who would like to join the county’s IAG would need to be available to volunteer a few hours every couple of months to share their opinions and advice on policing matters.

Members would need to be over 18-years-old, either live or work in Derbyshire, commit to regular attendance and due to the unpredictable nature of policing, be called upon if specific issues arise.
