Barking & Dagenham Safer Neighbourhood Board Opportunity to become the new chair.

Consultation has concluded

The Safer Neighbourhood Board is one of the ways the community hold the local police to account. The board is seeking to appoint a new chair to lead on community discussions which include the following priorities:

  • Enable local engagement with the police.
  • Enable local scrutiny and accountability of the police.
  • Focus on the Police and Crime Plan key principles and priorities of reducing and preventing violence, increasing trust and confidence, better supporting victims and protecting people from being exploited or harmed.
  • Monitor crime performance and public perceptions (community confidence)
  • Inform the development of policing priorities in the borough.
  • Monitor MPS support for the delivery of ward panels and community contact sessions.
  • Engage with Borough Independent Advisory Groups and other local mechanisms (e.g. neighbourhood watch and stop and search community monitoring groups) to support and inform their work across the borough.

Safer Neighbourhood Board members are generally people who actively represent their local communities. If you have an interest in policing and crime issues and can attend a meeting with senior police from the borough once every three months, then perhaps you might be interested.

The Barking & Dagenham Safer Neighbourhood Board presently has a budget of over £20,000 each year to create opportunities for organisations to apply for funding to deliver local projects that will help cut neighbourhood crimes and boost public confidence. As chair you will have a voice in deciding the process for organisations to apply and which projects will be successful.

Applications are being sought from people who represent the experiences of the groups listed above.

A panel of SNB members will review the applications and meet with potential candidates to discuss your application.

The panel will then offer recommendations to the board regarding the candidates with the new chair to be agreed in time for the next board meeting.
