PACT meetings provide an opportunity for members of the community to ask questions, and also helps officers address any issues that are ongoing in the area.

It also gives families a chance to meet their local policing team.

The session comes just days after a suspected shooting in the Blue House Lane area of Washington left a man in a critical condition.

To date, four people have been arrested in connection with the incident and remain in police custody.
