Police Liaison Representative (PLR)

Role Description

Appointment
At its annual meeting, the parish council will appoint a Police Liaison Representative (PLR)
who shall hold office until the next annual meeting unless the appointment is terminated by
the council. A person may be re-appointed from one year to the next. The Police Liaison
Representative may be a member or officer of the council or a member of the public.

Role
The role of Police Liaison Representative is non-statutory and has no authority to make
decisions that bind the council to taking, or not taking, any particular course of action. The
role of the Police Liaison Representative shall be to:

  • Establish contact with the relevant members of the Neighbourhood Policing Team.
  • Attend an annual meeting of Police Liaison Representatives.
  • Promote awareness of 101 and Crime Stoppers.
  • Understand the role and impact on councils of the Crime and Disorder Act.
  • Monitor crime statistics for the area and report to the council on any significant
    trends.
  • Where there is a council-sponsored PCSO, communicate as appropriate with the
    council’s Single Point of Contact (SPOC) for the PCSO.
  •  Act as the point of contact between the Neighbourhood Watch Co-ordinator and the
    council and help promote the Neighbourhood Watch.
  • Receive news and information from the Neighbourhood Policing Team (general and
    related to specific local incidents) and disseminate it in the council’s area as
    appropriate.
  •  Liaise with other groups/persons in the council’s area on the broader community
    safety agenda, including fire prevention and emergency planning and bring items of
    interest to the attention of the council.
  • Liaise and engage with the Northamptonshire Independent Advisory Group (IAG).

Time commitment
Hours will vary from community to community and person to person, but it is envisaged that
the role will require between five and ten hours per month.

Commitment to electronic working
The vast majority of information will be shared electronically (e-mail and social media).
Police Liaison Representatives should be comfortable working electronically.

Limit of role

Police Liaison Representatives are not involved in operational policing and are not an
appropriate person to receive reports of incidents or crimes from members of the public, who
should use 101 or 999 as appropriate

Two police officers wearing high-visibility jackets with "POLICE" written on them stand with their backs to the camera in an outdoor area. Several people, signs, and trees can be seen in the background. The scene appears to be a public gathering or protest.
