AVON and Somerset’s Police and Crime Commissioner panel is looking for new volunteers to help monitor policing.
Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Sue Mountstevens will appointment several new members to her Independent Residents’ Panel review complaints against the police.
"I want everyone in Avon and Somerset to have the highest levels of confidence in the police and this reason I set up the Independent Resident’s Panel back in 2013,” said Ms Mountstevens.
“It is really important to involve local people in policing and I am pleased to be able to offer this volunteering opportunity.
“I cannot do this role alone and want to hear from people who are passionate about improving policing. All of our volunteers, members of the panel included, play a vital part in assisting me in my role.
"If you are passionate about policing and our communities I would encourage you to find out more about this role and consider applying.”
Panel members receive training and travel expenses and will be required to take part in quarterly meetings to review police complaint files. Go to avonandsomerset-pcc.gov.uk to apply, the deadline is September 30.
