Section 37 (1) provides:

"A local authority shall, in performing its functions, have regard to the importance of taking steps to prevent crime, disorder and anti-social behaviour within its area of responsibility." 

As a result of the work of the committees and sub-committees, decisions which are made by any of the interests represented on the committee or subcommittee should be more informed by the discussion of local needs and circumstances. 

In particular, the JPC will act as a mechanism through which the local authority can have a role in conveying information and views to Garda Divisional and District officers to assist them in the formulation and operation of their annual policing plans and, secondly, Garda Divisional and District officers can convey information and views to the local authority to assist them in carrying out their duties, functions and activities 

The matters to be considered by the committees and subcommittees might include traffic, vandalism, anti-social behaviour, underage drinking, casual trading, litter, planning for events attracting large crowds, community-based crime prevention initiatives, Garda Divisional and District annual policing plans and local authority initiatives
