PCC launches public survey ahead of budget setting

Ahead of setting next year’s policing budget, the PCC wants to hear from communities across the three counties.

Over the next four weeks, Police and Crime Commissioner John Campion is seeking the views of Herefordshire, Shropshire, Telford & Wrekin and Worcestershire residents via a public survey.

With Covid placing an impact on the economy, and wider public finances, there are greater uncertainties than usual as we head towards next year’s policing budget. Therefore, the PCC wants to ensure that, when it comes to it, the public’s views are at the heart of his decision making.

The survey will ask people about their priorities, what it’s like in their community from a policing perspective, and in which areas of policing would they choose to spend more or less money.

PCC John Campion said: “This is another chance for me to hear the views of the public. I want to continue to understand priorities people have and ensure they are at the heart of decisions I make.

“I would encourage all residents to take part so I can use the feedback to help shape the future of policing, including which areas receive investment. Make sure you take the opportunity over the next four weeks to get your views heard, so together we can make sure that where we live continues to be safe.”
