Have your say on local policing priorities in your area<br />
Thousands of people have been telling police<br />
‘what matters’ to them after Nottinghamshire<br />
Police encouraged communities to come forward<br />
to help shape local policing priorities in their area,<br />
as part of one of the force’s biggest-ever public<br />
consultation exercises.<br />
Nottinghamshire Police has been encouraging<br />
communities to have their say in the force’s new<br />
neighbourhood policing priority survey which is<br />
already helping neighbourhood policing teams to<br />
decide where they should be focusing their efforts.<br />
Nottinghamshire Police Chief Constable Craig<br />
Guildford said: “Neighbourhood policing is at the<br />
heart of Nottinghamshire Police’s work and this<br />
initiative is an extension of our commitment to<br />
engage with the communities we serve to ensure<br />
that we’re continuing to focus on what matters most<br />
to local people.<br />
“Focusing on specific priorities within each<br />
neighbourhood is already helping to address issues<br />
as they are raised and this work will help to ensure<br />
that we can focus on more of what matters to local<br />
people as our ambitious recruitment plans continue<br />
and we introduce proactive policing teams into each<br />
area of the county.”<br />
How are local neighbourhood policing priorities<br />
decided?<br />
Neighbourhood policing priorities are informed by<br />
local crime and incident data before being agreed<br />
by each area’s neighbourhood policing inspector<br />
in agreement with local partners and elected<br />
members.<br />
The results from the survey will be used to help<br />
shape local policing priorities by enabling officers<br />
working across the county to better understand<br />
what matters most to the communities they serve.<br />
Once agreed, each area’s priorities are published<br />
on the Nottinghamshire Police website alongside<br />
monthly updates about progress being made to<br />
address them.<br />
The survey complements the existing public<br />
consultation activity undertaken by the county’s<br />
Police and Crime Commissioner, Paddy Tipping, and<br />
is already being used to inform how local policing<br />
priorities are decided.<br />
