Ms Nóirín O'Sullivan:

We are looking at ways we can enhance co-operation, engagement and partnership with the community. We will be looking at how we can do some of that through the JPCs and the local policing fora - we have some very good examples around the country of how that works in the spirit of true partnership, looking at joint solutions to problems that are affecting communities. For example, if we look at the text alert scheme which has been a phenomenal success, we will consider how we can roll that out and get more people engaged in looking at coming up with joint problem solving ideas. We will be looking to see how we can use the JPCs more as a forum to do that, along with the local policing fora and the neighbourhood watch schemes.
