Have your say on policing in Devon and Cornwall
The police and crime commissioner's launched a survey ahead of next year's budget
A survey's now open asking what you think about policing in Cornwall and Devon..
Police and crime commissioner Alison Hernandez is planning her budget for the next year, and is asking what people's concerns are.
The Your Safety, Your Say survey asks questions about the concerns people have in their communities, and whether they support plans to reopen more police enquiry offices and more robust action to tackle drugs.
It's also asking about how much we should pay for the force in Council Tax – which the Commissioner will set in the new year.
For the first time the Commissioner poses a question about the use of artificial intelligence such as facial recognition cameras, and how supportive people are of using this technology to catch dangerous offenders.
She said: “Seeking views from members of the public is one of my core duties. In recent years the public’s views have helped set my policing priorities of tackling antisocial behaviour, drugs, dangerous driving and violent crime, as well as letting me know there is huge support for our policy of reopening police stations.
“I want people of all ages and backgrounds to help me again by taking a few minutes to take part in this survey.”
You can fill in the survey here - it can also be completed online via the website of the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Devon and Cornwall, in person at engagement events, or over the phone by calling 01392 225555.
