Police Scotland is inviting the public to join them in a conversation about #YourPolice

The following is from Police Scotland. It's an opportunity to have your voice heard on all matters of policing and community safety:

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 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.
 
We are asking if you can help ensure as many people as possible have the opportunity to take part and have their say.
 
The survey covers various themes, such as:
  

1. Feeling of safety in local area
2. Locations where people feel less safe
3. Confidence in policing
4. Respect for police
5. Police performance and attitudes
6. Concern about crime
7. Feedback on contacting the police
8. Suggestions for improvement of the police service.

Accessible formats of the survey are available. An easy-read and British Sign Language version of the survey are available on the survey Overview page.
 
What does the survey involve?

1. Participants can choose which questions to fill out or leave blank.
2. It should only take around 10 minutes to complete.
3. All individual responses to the survey are anonymous.
4. Anonymous data will be utilised in reports and publications and be held securely, in line with the Data Protection Act 2018.
5. At the end of the survey, we ask for personal details to ensure we receive a comprehensive range of responses. Please note that people do not have to answer these questions.

 
What will happen next?
 
We have taken action to respond to feedback gathered through the survey. Operational policing uses the feedback on a regular basis to shape activities in local areas.
 
We report the feedback from this survey in ways which are practical for policing and inform service delivery. A report is prepared each quarter for the Scottish Police Authority's 'Policing Performance Committee'.
