The area which this Force polices is divided into districts or Basic Command Units (“BCUs”). Each BCU has an IAG. IAGs provide local advice on any aspect of policing that may have an impact on diverse communities of the BCU area.

Each district IAG operates according to locally agreed terms of reference.

IAGs can engage in a critical dialogue about a range of issues including:

• The appropriate response to an incident involving diverse members of the community.
• The quality of police services provided to diverse members of the community.
• Police and community relations, particularly in respect of vulnerable groups.
• Alternative approaches to potential community tensions.
• Liaison with other consultative groups with regard to crime and disorder issues
