Survey to gauge confidence in North Yorkshire's emergency services
North Yorkshire residents invited to share views on police and fire services
Last updated 27th Feb 2026
The York and North Yorkshire Combined Authority has initiated the region's inaugural Emergency Services Public Satisfaction Survey, inviting residents, workers, and visitors to share their experiences and opinions regarding local police and fire services.
This annual survey aims to capture public sentiment, assessing confidence levels, identifying areas of success, and seeking suggestions for potential improvements.
Feedback gathered will aid the Combined Authority in its oversight role, ensuring accountability for the police and fire services in York and North Yorkshire.
The survey is available for eight weeks, concluding on 19th April.
Participation takes approximately five minutes, and respondents can share their views regardless of having direct contact with either service.
Jo Coles, Deputy Mayor of Policing, Fire and Crime, underscores the survey's significance.
Coles stated, "Thousands of people across our region engage with our police and fire services each year."
She continued, "David Skaith, the Mayor and I are committed to making York and North Yorkshire safer for all our residents and visitors, and we would urge everyone who is able to please take a few minutes to complete our community survey and have their say on our police and fire services."
