Every month Oxenford NHW Secretary Ursula Morrison and I attend the Coomera Consultative Committee meetings that are held at Coomera Police Station. Community Consultative Committees (CCC) are established to develop synergy between police and community in a police district, division or region, to allow police to serve their community in an informed and co-operative way.
The aims of CCC’s are:
to provide a forum for discussing matters of concern relating to the policing of our community;
to arrive at decisions resulting from those discussions and, where necessary, act upon such decisions;
to promote and develop a genuine partnership between the police and the community;
to act as a facilitating agent through which representations can be made at local level for the purpose of improving the service provided by police;
and to make the community aware of police service policies, ideas and directions.
For further information on CCCs visit the Queensland Police Service CCC website.
