Understanding the views and priorities of Scotland’s diverse communities is fundamental to how Police Scotland responds to the needs of the public.
Police Scotland has continued to meet the needs of our communities during a demanding and difficult period for the people of Scotland. Our public engagement activities help us improve how we deliver our policing services in local communities, ensuring they are accessible for everyone.
It is vital that we listen, understand, and take action using your views and experiences. Outcome 3 of our Joint Strategy for Policing (2020) creates the space within policing to inform our services using this rich insight. Our Annual Police Plan 2022/23 sets out what we will do to keep our communities safe and this has been developed using your responses to last year’s survey, along with focus groups, workshops and other ways we listen to communities.
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‘. This is just one of the ways that policing is scrutinised, which is important as it helps us ensure we are policing with the consent of the people of Scotland.
Your response is anonymous and you will not be identified through the information you provide unless you choose to identify yourself in your responses.
