The guest speaker this month is Superintendent Bill Searle of Police National Headquarters. Bill's position of responsibility within the Police is leading a "refreshed" approach to community policing. The key aspects include:

1. Listening to and including the community in identifying problems
and developing 'whole of community' solutions.

2. Developing local solutions to local problems within national
guidelines.

3. Integrating community policing as a vital component, into an
evidenced based and targeted whole of policing approach.

4. Co-ordinating all Police community focused staff into community
policing teams.

5. Developing ways of making policing more visible, accessible and
familiar to the public.

Bill is very well qualified to speak on this important aspect of policing. He has a 26 year police career, having worked in both the CIB and General Duties Branch, primarily in Central and South Auckland and more lately in Hamilton and now Police Headquarters.

One of the 2008 initiatives of ASIS is to build on our relationships with public law enforcement agencies. This presentation offers an opportunity to learn about current police initiatives and to discuss with Bill where you believe the private security industry can contribute to safer communities.

Please advise by Thursday 12 June if you can make this event.
