Community Tasking Groups

Community Tasking Groups (CTGs) meet every four weeks in the four policing areas of the city. The CTGs are made up of police and partner agencies such as the council, fire brigade and other community groups, and they meet to discuss current community issues, their objective is to work in partnership to resolve local community priorities. These priorities are identified through different consultation processes with local groups and individuals.


Together they work to resolve quality of life issues that impact on the local community and often include anti social behaviour, youth problems, environmental issues and anything else that could have a negative impact on your and your neighbours lives.

If you would like an issue raised at the meeting please contact your local Police Safer Neighbourhood team or City Councillor who would be able to represent your views.

The following links show the issues currently being addressed in each area.
Community Tasking Group - Cosham
Community Tasking Group - Fratton
