MEMBERS of the Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner’s ground-breaking Youth and Elders’ Commissions have been honoured at a celebratory event to thank them for their outstanding contributions.
Katy Bourne welcomed representatives from both voluntary bodies to show her appreciation for their work over the past few years.
She said: “When they were established, my ambition for the Youth and Elders’ Commissions was to capture the thoughts and concerns about policing and crime from older and younger Sussex residents in order to inform my Police and Crime Plan.
“However, their award-winning work and the impact they have had on policing, both nationally and locally, has surpassed anything we expected when they were originally set up.
“This was achieved through their engagement with literally thousands of people across our county and their resulting input has influenced the way that Sussex Police engages with both age groups.”
