Volunteers are sought to help represent diverse communities across Kent and to assist the force with its work in supporting victims of crime

Residents have the opportunity to join the Independent Police Advisory Group (IPAG), which acts as a critical friend to Kent Police. The group is totally independent of the force and helps improve the services police provide to people from different backgrounds. It includes volunteers who can offer their perspectives around issues such as race, sexual orientation, disability, age and gender. The IPAG also provides an opportunity to engage, consult and discuss the impact of policing on communities. Members are able to share feedback to Kent Police from the communities and local areas they represent, as well as give advice and support during critical incidents.
