Say: "Verily, my Lord has guided me to a way that is straight,- a religion of right,- the path of Abraham the true in Faith, and he (certainly) joined not gods with God."  

Chapter 6 Al-Anaam, verse 161

Strategic IAG (Independent Advisory Group) is formed by Equality and Diversity department of Devon and Cornwall Police Authority to monitor and advise on the quality of police work.

​

This is an invitation only group which meets four times a years with the higher police officials to discuss the various diversity issues arising among the local communities. Members of public belonging to various backgrounds are invited by the police force itself to join in and contribute their views.

 

There are six strands of this group namely Religion & Belief, Gender, Race, Disability, Age, Gays Lesbians and Bisexuals.

​

Mashallah, my wife and I have been active members of the Religion and Belief Group (IAG) and have been attending the meetings regularly where concerns and thoughts are discussed on reported cases arising among different faith & belief communities.
