Interested in policing?

Are you interested in community safety, policing or criminal justice issues?

In November, you will be able to elect a Police and Crime Commissioner who will oversee policing in the Avon and Somerset Area. The Avon and Somerset Police and Crime Panel will monitor and scrutinise the Police and Crime Commissioner and the panel is currently looking for two or more volunteers to serve as co-opted independent members.

The job advert says that key skills will include: the ability to think strategically, be analytical to be able to scrutinise and challenge and have the ability to communicate effectively. You will also have an understanding of equalities and diversity issues. You will work alongside councillor Panel members from across the Avon and Somerset Area.

You can find more information and an application pack online or request one by calling  0117 3521400. The closing date is 24 August 2012.
