Assistant Chief Constable Peter Sheridan said: "The is an important tool in helping us achieve our objective in making Northern Ireland safer for everyone.
“This is a very practical event where District Commanders will work with others with a stake in tackling crime and quality of life problems through working in partnership. The aim is to give all of those taking part an improved understanding of how the police tackle crime, of the roles and responsibilities of all the key local stakeholders and of how to identify ways to tackle local problems."
