Meet Your Magistrates


Lancashire Magistrates' are stepping up their efforts to get closer to their local communities, giving the public the opportunity to have Meet Your Magistratesmore of a say in the local delivery of justice in Lancashire.

This new Community Engagement Initative is a two-way discussion.

Local Magistrates find out what the local community’s priorities and concerns are and the local community find out about what is being done to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour in their local area.

By better involving local communities, this initiative will help to :

  • Reduce crime
  • Reduce the fear of crime
  • Increase confidence that crime is being dealt with effectively
  • Ensure the public can have more of an impact on reducing local crime, making life safer and better for everyone.
     

Lancashire Magistrates' will attend already established community meetings (PACT - Police & Community Together, MAPS - Multi Agency Problem Solving) and will also hold a number of dedicated local events themselves.

Did you know .... You can get in touch to request a meeting!
To request the attendance of a local Magistrate at one of your community events contact Susan Horsley at susan.horsley2@hmcourts-service.gsi.gov.uk or call 01772 272852
