Public urged to attend DPP meetings

North Belfast District Policing Partnership (DPP) members are urging residents to “get involved” in shaping the area's next policing plan.
Consultation on the 2009/10 policing plan gets under way in North Belfast next week with a meeting at the Lansdowne followed by a repeat performance on Duncairn Gardens the week after.
Appealing to North Belfast residents to attend one of the two meetings, DPP independent member and former republican POW Gerry O’Reilly said people needed to get involved in shaping the policing of North Belfast.
“These public consultation meetings are all about getting people involved in the shaping of their own policing and we want to help them understand the processes and how exactly they are affected by them,” he said.
“The people of North Belfast are an integral part of every one of our processes and that is why it is vital they come along and give us their views, comments and criticisms.”
The first meeting will take place at the Lansdowne on Monday 16 at 7pm and a second public meeting will be held at NICVA on Tuesday 24 at 7pm. Everyone is invited to attend.
