Residents invited to share policing priorities for their area

We’re Listening!

Because residents know their neighbourhood better than anyone.

Residents’ voices are key to our mission to serve and protect communities in Warwickshire. Making where they live a safer place for them, their family, and local businesses.

Are they concerned about antisocial behaviour in the park? cars speeding through the village? or is the thought of burglary keeping them up at night?

We want to know what matters to the people of Warwickshire. Through our two minute survey on Warwickshire Connected, people can tell us their policing priorities for where they live.

Thanks to the feedback we’ve received so far, we’re already taking action to tackle crime across the county:

• In Stratford-upon-Avon we are listening and are dispersing disruptive motorbike and car gatherings at Bridgeway Multistorey Car Park.
• In Rugby town centre we are listening and have issued 50 behaviour warnings and are working with partners to engage individuals with diversionary activities, to curve their anti-social behaviour.
• In Nuneaton we are listening by deploying hotspot patrols and enforcing the illegal use of e-scooters and e-bikes.
• In Leamington we are listening and are enforcing action against businesses selling illegal tobacco and vape products.

We’d like people in Warwickshire to help us do the same in their neighbourhood and tell us what matters most to them.

Head of Local Policing, Chief Superintendent Helen Schofield reiterates the value of listening in guiding our policing approach:

“It’s essential to our ability to serve and protect to listen to our communities. Through this, we can flex our approach across different communities and deliver the service that is integral to policing.”

So, what do we need to prioritise?

Big or small, we’re asking people to tell us what matters to them. You can take part here: Let us know your priorities
