Neighbourhood
Policing
What is PACT?
PACT – Partnerships and Communities Together form an integral
part of the new Neighbourhood Policing Programme, which will be
rolled out across the whole of Neath Port Talbot County Borough by
April 2008.
So far Neighbourhood Policing has been introduced in Sandfields
East and West, Aberavon, Taibach, Margam, Neath East and Cymmer
with teams of neighbourhood officers in place to tackle different
problems within each area by working more closely with residents,
the local authority and other agencies.
PACT meetings will be attended by other local organisations that
have responsibility for your neighbourhood, for example the local
council. It is an opportunity for you to meet the members of your
Neighbourhood Team and tell them what your priorities are in terms
of local policing and community issues.
At the end of each meeting a panel made up of members of the
public, police and partners will decide which of the issues raised
will be prioritised for the police and partners to deal with by the
next meeting.
What are the Benefits of PACT?
- PACT is about communicating with local people and telling them
what their neighbourhood team is doing for them.
- PACT gives everyone the chance to see members of their
neighbourhood team at least once a month.
- PACT is about problem solving, dealing with localised Police
and Partnership issues.
- The role of the neighbourhood teams is to come up with
sustainable solutions to the problems to prevent them happening
again – making a lasting difference to the quality of life for
residents in Neath Port Talbot.
