Welcome By Chair

As the Chair of Antrim DPP I would like to welcome you to this web site, which will explain a little about Antrim DPP and what it does. If you can not find the information you are looking for please contact the DPP Manager at Antrim Borough Council.

Antrim DPP was created in 2003 to give all local people who live or work anywhere in the Antrim Borough the opportunity to be able to influence how local policing is delivered and to make "local people shaping local policing” a reality.

There are 19 members of Antrim DPP (for more information on the members click on the tab "Antrim DPP Members" on the left side of this page). None of the members of Antrim DPP are part of the police (PSNI).

Members of Antrim DPP either individually or in small groups, would like to meet with as many of the community as possible, especially groups and businesses in the Borough, to discuss issues that concern you about crime and policing locally. please contact any of the DPP members or the DPP Manager to discuss arranging this.

The membership of the DPP is drawn from all areas of the Borough including: -

• Antrim Town
• Randalstown and Toomebridge
• Crumlin and Templepatrick
