Webcasting police Authority Meetings
The next three Police Authority meetings will be webcast on the Authority website. The trial will begin on 5 October 2007 at the meeting to be held in the Devon County Council Chamber at County Hall.
The Police Authority endeavours to ensure that an efficient and effective policing service is provided for the people of Devon, Cornwall, Torbay, Plymouth and the Isles of Scilly. The members provide an important link between the local community and the police service. They work closely with the Chief Constable. One of the key roles is consulting the people who live and work in Devon and Cornwall to find out what they expect from their police. The feedback received helps shape the police service provided to the communities.
Police Authority Chairman John Smith said: “We want to raise public interest in our meetings and make them more accessible. The public is always welcome to attend and now the discussions and decisions made at the meetings will be available to all those who have access to the internet. We look forward to the public watching us.”
