Welcome to Craigavon DPP

Welcome to the homepage of Craigavon District Policing Partnership (DPP).

Craigavon DPP was established in March 2003 and is a partnership between Craigavon Borough Council and representatives of the local community.  The partnership consists of 10 elected members nominated by the Council and 9 independent members.

In summary, the main roles and responsibilities of the DPP are to:

• Provide views to the District Commander on any matter concerning the polcing of the district.
• Monitor the performance of the police in carrying out the policing plan.
• Make arrangements for getting the views of the public on matters concerning the policing of the district and gaining their co-operation with the police in preventing crime.
• Act as a general forum for discussion and consultation on matters affecting the policing of the district.

Craigavon itself is situated on the southern shore of Lough Neagh and is easily accessible both by road and rail. The borough has a total population of approximately 80,000 people, and encompasses a mix of quiet country villages and modern towns, including the urban centres of Lurgan, Brownlow and Portadown.

Craigavon has an impressive range of visitor attractions. These include; Lough Neagh Discovery Centre, Coney Island, Ballydougan Pottery and Moneypenny's Lock and Lockhouse. The area also boasts a thriving industrial sector and is viewed as a centre of excellence for industry and innovation in Northern Ireland.

We hope you find this site to be interesting and informative.  If you require any additional information, please contact the DPP Manager.   dppm@craigavon.gov.uk or phone 028 3831 2587.
