This event is run in association with GlobalNet21. Now that Police and Crime Commissioners have had a year to settle in, this timely seminar will look at developments and differing approaches to the role across the country.
We will examine the importance to the Police and Crime Commissioner role of community engagement and participation. The seminar will look at the crucial experience that local authorities can bring to the table as part of the process, given their long history of engaging with local communities.
There will also be a focus during the day on how digital technology can help raise the local profile of Commissioners and make them more effective in their role.
