These IAG's will assist with the shaping and influencing provision through advising the police on how to achieve accessible and responsive policing services for the these communities.

unfortunately, The Republic of Poland is situated in Central Europe

[Rennie]

 Thanks for that,  my mistake I'll change it to include Central Europe, that's exactly why we need people from different communities to advise us and become our "critical friends".
