How public feedback is helping to shape my new Police and Crime Plan

Public urged to speak out on Police and Crime Plan

Hundreds of people across Nottinghamshire have taken their unique chance to influence the future of policing, crime prevention and victim support services over the next five years.

Nottinghamshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner Gary Godden opened a public consultation his new Police and Crime Plan, which ran from July to September. The consultation has now closed and the feedback is helping to shape the plan, which will be published later this year.

The key pillars of Commissioner Godden’s draft proposals include putting victims and communities first, strengthening our work with partner agencies and ensuring effective and resilient policing.

Members of our diverse communities across Nottinghamshire were asked for their views on what issues should be prioritised, including greater visibility and access to neighbourhood policing, tackling serious violence including knife crime, and better support for victims of crime.

The plan, which will also set ambitious targets to reduce crime and improve public safety, will run until 2029.

Commissioner Godden said: “This Police and Crime Plan will set the strategic direction of policing, crime prevention and victim services over the next five years.

“I was elected to represent the public and I want to ensure all of our diverse communities across Nottinghamshire feel a sense of ownership in this plan and feel that it reflects their needs."

The consultation ended on September 2.
