Community Tasking Groups (CTGs) meet every four weeks in the four policing areas of the city.
The members of the groups consist of police and partner agencies such as the council, fire brigade and other community groups, and they meet to discuss current community issues and how to tackle them. If you would like an issue raised at the meeting please contact your local Safer Neigbourhood team or City Councillor who would be able to represent your views.
