Members raised concerns with the functioning of CPFs and asked what steps the Secretariat was taking to address the concerns. The Secretariat responded that the CSFs were broader than the CPFs and focused on the broader criminal justice system, not only policing. The Secretariat had developed policy on Community Safety Forums and was consulting on this policy which required intensive consultation from a range of role-players due to its multi-sectoral focus. The deadline for finalisation of the policy is December 2010.
