This is a Contract Details Notice The Office of the Police & Crime Commissioner for Cheshire runs regular Citizens Assemblies to seek the views of a randomly selected representative sample of the local population on the issue of policing in their area. The Citizens Assemblies are part of the Commissioner’s plan to better understand the community’s feelings about the policing of their local area. He wants to give communities a voice in better informing how we police and believes that hosting a Citizens’ Assembly will help him do this.
