Appendix A
The following table provides a snapshot of the consultation exercises that forces and divisions were engaged in. It is by no means exhaustive of all that they did. For example, all will be involved in a range of community meetings but not all of these have been listed under each force. Nevertheless, it confirms our contention that a great deal of consultation between the police, the public, and other partner agencies and stakeholders goes on, much of it very much as part of the routine business of policing.
