police liaison
Law enforcement intermediary
A police liaison is an officer or official who serves as a point of contact between a police department and another group—a school, community organization, protest, or other agency.
The role emphasizes communication and coordination rather than enforcement: The police liaison met with neighborhood leaders to address concerns.
In some contexts, a civilian may serve as liaison to the police rather than from them.
