41.This section enables either the district policing partnerships with the approval of the Board or, in the case of default by a partnership, the Board, to make arrangements to facilitate consultation between the police and any local community.  The Chief Constable must be consulted before such arrangements are made.  The section provides for consultation at a level below district policing partnerships and recognises the role of the current community and police liaison committees.
