PACT meetings stand for Police and Communities Together and have been designed to identify and address community needs. Residents can raise matters which are clearly having effect on their neighbourhood. Such issues will be discussed at the PACT meetings and if appropriate formulated as a local priority. Priorities will be very time, location or incident specific and of a low level eg. Parking problems, occurrence of anti social behaviour, graffiti. During the four week period the police, and if required other agencies will focus on the problem and report back at the next meeting. The concept of these meetings is in line with the new South Durham policing Pledge which is aimed at local police, partners and the community working together to tackle issues of concern. Where possible we will look to include residents in the actual solutions.
