People across Sussex are being asked how safe they feel and what they want from policing in the future as part of a new public survey.
Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner Katy Bourne has launched her annual Safer in Sussex Survey, which seeks views from residents across the county.
The survey asks people how safe they feel in Sussex, how easy they find it to access police services both in person and online, and what they think about future changes to policing.
This includes questions around the use of technology and possible changes to policing governance arrangements.
The Police and Crime Commissioner says feedback will be used to help inform local policing priorities and contribute to national discussions about policing reform.
Responses will also be used to help ensure Sussex Police remains visible, accessible and effective for the communities it serves.
Speaking about the survey, Katy Bourne said: “The views of Sussex residents are at the heart of effective policing.
“This short survey is an opportunity for you to tell me how safe you feel, how easy it is to access police services and what you think the future of policing should look like.
“Every response matters and will help me inform both local priorities and wider conversations about policing, especially now the Government is considering major changes to our current county constabulary model. I do hope you'll take a few minutes to get involved and share your views with me.”
The survey is expected to take around three to five minutes to complete.
