Volunteering with Lothian and Borders Police Board
Lothian and Borders Police Board runs two voluntary schemes - the Custody Visiting Scheme and the Lay Diversity Advisers Scheme.
Custody Visiting Scheme - Custody Visitors are independent members of the community who visit Police Stations unannounced to check on the welfare of people who are in custody.
Lay Diversity Advisers Scheme - Lay Diversity Advisers are independent members of the community who monitor and influence police strategy and operations in relation to diversity and equality. They scrutinise police relations and the police investigation of hate crime including critical incidents.
