This is a summary of the final report, which is an evaluation of the the first phase of the Community Policing Forum (CPF). This document describes the establishment of the CPF following a proposal by the Inter-Agency Drugs Project (IADP) and the Inner City Organisation Network (ICON) to the North Inner City Drugs Task Force. The CPF involves local residents from a designated area in the north-east inner city, public representatives and representatives from the local Drugs Task Force, ICON, an Garda Síochána and Dublin City Council. The overall purpose of the CPF is to enable the Community, an Garda Síochána, and Dublin City Council to develop a co-ordinated strategy in response to drug dealing and drug-related anti-social behaviour in the north inner city. This summary outlines the particular aims of the CPF and describes the process of evaluating its initial phase.
