The Metropolitan Police Authority is asking Londoners to have their say and help identify the capital’s policing priorities for 2012/13.
By completing a short online questionnaire Londoners can tell the MPA what are the most important issues for them and what they believe the police should be focusing on. The questionnaire asks:
– what are your top three priorities for policing in London?
– why do you choose these priorities?
– what should the MPS be doing to tackle these priorities?
Kit Malthouse, Chairman of the MPA, said:
"Public consultation plays an important part in setting the annual policing priorities for London and we want to encourage more and more Londoners to participate.
“This year MPA staff will be trying harder than ever over the summer months to enable communities to have their say, attending community events, Safer Neighbourhoods team’s surgeries, ‘have your say’ days and joining in with crime prevention buses to speak with people directly.
“We are also asking London’s business community to have their say in setting policing priorities with a specific questionnaire.
“Participating in this annual consultation is a vital tool to help restore the vital link between our local communities and their police service. All organisations do best when they listen to the people they serve and the police is no different.”
