MAPPA

Multi-Agency Public Protection Arrangement (MAPPA) teams in England and Wales were put in place seven years ago to use more robust management systems for those offenders who live in our communities through the sharing of information and expertise. The teams, comprising police, prison, probation and other relevant agencies ensure joint working and communication effectively manages risk to the public.

Multi Agency Public Protection panels meet to share information and carefully assess and monitor any individuals who may pose a threat to the community.
