The force will present the results of its recent community survey and a draft of its priorities for the next three years.
And new chief officer Damian Kitchen will speak of his goals as the head of law enforcement. These have been informed by the survey but will still be open for community input.
People are invited to attend to raise concerns, suggestions and any other feedback.
‘It is the intention to take away actions from this initial meeting and put in place some action plans around areas of specific concern, which will we then report back on, in a follow-up meeting,’ said a police spokesman.
‘In recent years, we have held various community meetings in different formats, however the intention is to reinvigorate these meetings to provide a more useful platform from which the police and community can deliver a unified approach to tackling the public’s concerns.’
This meeting is part of a wider stream of work to follow the Pact (Police and Communities Together) model, with regular community meetings to discuss local policing issues and priorities.
‘As the head of law enforcement I am determined to build upon our relationships across the local community, particularly on the policing service we deliver,’ said Mr Kitchen.
‘The public survey was a first step to improving our understanding of the issues which concern you, and it is vital that we continue momentum in this area because maintaining a strong partnership with our community, and understanding your concerns, is crucial.
‘I’d encourage anybody who wishes to raise particular issues, concerns and feedback to attend.
‘Effective policing and maintaining Guernsey as a safe place to live is a collaborative effort that extends beyond the capabilities and knowledge of law enforcement alone.’
The event takes place in the Harry Bound Room at Les Cotils on Friday from 6.30, and is expected to finish at about 8pm.
