Norfolk residents invited to shape policing priorities
Constabulary launches Public Voice initiative to gather community feedback.
People in Norfolk are being asked to have their say on policing priorities in their area, as Norfolk Constabulary launches a new Neighbourhood Policing Survey.
Responses will be used to help local policing teams understand concerns within individual communities, down to specific postcodes.
The Neighbourhood Policing Survey is the first step in Norfolk Constabulary’s new Public Voice initiative, which also receives funding from the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner. This project forms part of the Police and Crime Plan and is designed to use best practice around collecting and analysing data from residents, giving neighbourhood policing teams a consistent way to set priorities based on public feedback.
Norfolk Police and Crime Commissioner Sarah Taylor said, “In talking to people across the county, many people have told me that they would like to be able to understand how their local police set policing priorities in their local area.
“If over the last 18 months you have talked with me, or sent an email to me, asking how to get the police to respond to a particular issue in your area, I would ask that you please give this a go. It can take as little as a couple of minutes to complete the survey, and it has the potential to make a great difference in your community.”
