Independent Advisory Group (IAG)

Could you represent and support members of your community?

Kent Police is looking for volunteers to attend the Kent Police Independent Advisory Groups (IAG) and represent diverse communities across the county's districts.

We are looking for people who:

• have strong leadership skills
• have specialist knowledge of diverse communities
• have energy and enthusiasm
• are confident in talking with the police and other agencies
• can represent people from all parts of the communities e.g. race, religion and belief, disability, gender, age, LGBT+
• can dedicate time for regular meetings
• can give independent views on a range of issues

District Chairs may be asked to support the county Chair/vice Chair by attending strategic Kent Police meetings such as the Hate Crime Forum, Stop and Search Scrutiny Panel, Protecting Vulnerable People Board and the Prevent Delivery Board.

District Chairs will be provided with continuing professional development opportunities such as training and attendance at relevant conferences and master classes.

District Chairs will be subjected to non-police personnel vetting to level 1, in accordance with the National Police Chiefs Council policy.
