HAVE YOUR SAY ON POLICING PRIORITIES
People in Misterton are being urged to take the chance to influence the future of policing, crime prevention, and victim support services in the county over the next five years.
Notts’ new Police & Crime Commissioner, Gary Godden, has started public consultation his new Police & Crime Plan. The key pillars of his draft proposals include putting victims and communities first, strengthening work with partner agencies, and ensuring effective and resilient policing.
Residents across Nottinghamshire are now being asked for their views on what issues should be prioritised, including greater visibility and access to neighbourhood policing, tackling serious violence including knife crime, and better support for victims of crime. Have a say by visiting https://forms.office.com/e/HrV42QRArL to fill in the questionnaire before Monday 2 September.
