The primary role of a First Point of Contact Officer (FPOC) is to provide a point of contact for Pagan issues within their constabulary, either from a policing perspective, or from members of the Pagan community.
Where applicable the FPOC can direct those seeking advice to the relevant local department, the PPA Executive Committee or to Pagan associations who are Corporate Members of the PPA or with which the PPA is otherwise associated.
The FPOC is also a source of local information in relation to Pagan events, Moots, ceremonies for the Executive Committee so that a comprehensive social calendar can be maintained with the intention of promoting a sense of wider community in which PPA members can meet up, share experiences and worship.
