Police Liaison Representative

Here you will find everything related to the Northamptonshire Police Liaison Representative (PLR) Scheme, from the role description, new sign up link and upcoming events.

The PLR Scheme, is where every parish and town council and parish meeting appoints a person (could be a councillor, officer, or member of the public) to act as a single point of contact for the police. It is the same principle as the Parish Paths Warden Scheme for rights of way and the Highways Representative Scheme for highways. The scheme was trialled a few years ago in Daventry district, but was not adequately managed so it rather fizzled out. This time, Northamptonshire Police has asked Northants CALC to manage and administer the scheme.

The two documents below provide more information on the PLR role:

The names and maps will be updated from time to time to reflect the changes.

The 2^nd Annual PLR Conference was held on Tuesday 28 June 2022, from 7 – 9pm.

There was a review of the PLR Scheme over the past year – what has worked well and what hasn't worked well – and a look forward to what PLRs can expect in the coming 12 months. Senior police officers responsible for Neighbourhood Policing in Northamptonshire, and the Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner both gave talks, as well as several PLRs shared how it's been from their end of the telescope.
