A group which was traditionally chaired by police officers to help its members to provide a better service to communities has appointed its first non-police chairman.
The Bradford Independent Advisory Group (IAG), which helps to advise the police on local issues arising from its actions and initiatives, has appointed Rafiq Sehgal to be its new leader.
Mr Sehgal, who lives in Bradford and is a member of the city’s Council for Mosques, was appointed following a recent review, which was conducted to make sure that the voice of the public was being heard in decision making by senior police officers at Bradford District.
Mr Sehgal, said:“I feel very privileged and proud to have been appointed as the new chair of the Bradford Independent Advisory Group. As the new chair I hope to build on the excellent work of my predecessors who have helped our police officers in this district to better understand the communities they serve and the issues that matter to them.”
