Have your say on policing in Rutland
PCC involves local people, businesses and partners in his plans
The Police and Crime Commissioner for Leicestershire & Rutland has launched a new engagement programme giving residents, businesses and partners the opportunity to have their say.
The survey is targeted at those who will play a key role in supporting the PCC to cut crime and anti-social behaviour with the feedback used to help shape the future Police and Crime Plan for 2024-28.
People will be asked to rank priorities in several key areas from supporting victims and witnesses of crime, preventing rural crime, road safety, business crime through to tackling serious violence and neighbourhood crime.
Mr Matthews said: "I have been elected to serve and represent the residents of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland. It matters a great deal to me that the decisions I make are reflective of the public's needs and wishes.
"This survey will seek to gather an unprecedented insight into how our communities think policing should best be delivered. From the businesses that contribute to our economy through to our farmers, urban and rural communities and the service providers who help address the root causes of crime, every opinion counts. Their experiences will help me develop localised services that reduce vulnerability and protect their property.
"Fighting crime is a team effort. This is why much effort has been invested through this survey and the associated events into finding out how our key partners will work with me to keep our city and two counties safe.
"The survey should only take a few minutes to complete, and I urge everyone who lives or works in the city and two counties to make the time to take part."
The survey will be available online until 30 August 2024.
