Summary of objectives
Lewisham Community Police Consultative Group (LCPCG) is an Independent Community Forum. The Group discusses aspects of policing, community safety and related issues which matter to the communities of Lewisham.
The Borough Police and the Council’s Crime Reduction Service are key partners within the Group. They regularly inform the Group of developments in their respective areas and where they work in partnership, especially matters with implications for the community. The Police and the Crime Reduction Service seek to consult, involve and engage with members of the Group.
Members of the Group raise local issues and concerns regarding, crime prevention, community safety, anti-social behaviour, particular crimes, safer neighbourhoods and other topical issues.
Frequency of meetings
There are four full CPCG meetings during the year and the AGM in early December. Other outreach meetings and conferences agreed by the Group are published through the Co-ordinator.
Current committee members
The Members of Parliament for Deptford, Lewisham East and Lewisham West, up to five police officers, up to five borough councillors, and representatives from any bona fide, formally constituted community organisation that represents a significant number of local people.
However, meetings are open to all residents of the borough, members of the public and the press.
