We recognise that young people have an important part to play within their local community and the future of the police service. We are therefore committed to engaging with young people from all over our force area to make sure they have the opportunity to have their voices heard.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To help us do this Humberside Police are actively looking to recruit young adults (aged 16 \u2013 24) to join a Youth Independent Advisory Group (IAG). The aim is to involve young adults on a voluntary basis as part of these groups.

This is therefore a real opportunity for the young adults of Humberside engage with and contribute to the work carried out by Humberside Police and speak to those who can effect real change. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The members will work closely with the police and allow us to create a genuine working relationship with young people. The IAG\u2019s will consider national, regional & local issues such as stop and search figures, hate crime statistics, critical incidents along with issues that are relevant and topical to the public that Humberside Police serve.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In other words, we want you to tell us how what we do impacts on you and the wider public and how we can improve. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What are the aims of the Youth Independent Advisory Group?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We know that to better understand who our communities are we need to involve them in how we work. By setting up a Youth IAG Humberside Police aims to: – <\/p>\n\n\n\n
