Police Scotland’s invite to the public to join them in a conversation about #YourPolice is being highlighted by Martin Whitfield MSP.
Understanding the views and priorities of Scotland’s diverse communities is fundamental to how Police Scotland responds to the needs of the public. Public engagement activities help the service improve how it delivers policing services in local communities, ensuring they are accessible and inclusive for everyone.
The survey covers various themes, such as:
- Feeling of safety in local area
- Locations where people feel less safe
- Confidence in policing
- Respect for police
- Police performance and attitudes
- Concern about crime
- Feedback on contacting the police
- Suggestions for improvement of the police service.
Commenting on the survey, Martin Whitfield MSP said:
“The Your Police 2024-25 survey has been designed to listen and better understand the views and priorities of communities by giving them the opportunity to share their thoughts about policing and safety in their local area.
“I am promoting the survey to constituents in South Scotland to help ensure as many people as possible have the opportunity to take part and have their say.”
