Police commissioner launches survey to get views on local crime

Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Police and Crime Commissioner, Rupert Matthews (Con), has launched an  to get local views on a range of issues so he can hold the chief constable to account more effectively.

The survey asks a range of questions from how safe or unsafe they feel in specific community locations through to what worries them most when they are in public places, and further research will take place via focus groups.

Rupert Matthews, The Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland Police and Crime Commissioner, said: “This is one of the largest research projects of its kind to run across Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland and will provide a detailed insight into the way in which policing and crime is perceived by the public.

“I would encourage people of all ages and backgrounds to spare 10 minutes to complete this survey. We are lucky to live in a unique and richly diverse area. Understandably, people’s experiences of policing may differ depending on their background and the community in which they live. It is vital I understand these experiences in their totality, so we have a rounded picture.”
