CONSULTATION 2008/09

Surrey Police Authority has a statutory responsibility to consult with the people of Surrey in order to determine the annual local policing priorities, and this year's priorities consultation activity is currently underway. The findings of this consultation will feed directly into the Authority's decision-making on the 2009/10 Local Policing Plan and Budget in early 2009.

This priorities survey has been conducted via a printed questionnaire posted to several thousand Surrey households. This method allows us to produce reliable data that reflects the views of people from all backgrounds and communities in Surrey. Topics covered in the survey include:

Policing Priorities - are we focused on what matters to local people?

Satisfaction - are people satisfied with the policing services they receive?

Confidence - what would make people more confident in their police force?

Funding - how do people feel about the amount they pay for policing? Do they feel they get value for money?

We also distributed a similar survey to our many stakeholders in Surrey, including local politicians, emergency services, libraries, medical practices, schools and many others.

We have had an excellent response to these consultations, with more than 2,100 Surrey people completing the surveys to date. We will be reporting fully on the results of this consultation early in 2009.

We will also be announcing in 2009 some exciting new opportunities for more people to get involved in our consultation work. Please check back to the site in the coming months to find out more.
