Have your say on the People's Priority?

The authority engages with the public each year to help inform the setting of priorities for policing. This also includes identifying a single People's Policing Priority. This year anti-social behaviour, with an emphasis on speeding and parking outside schools, was supported by members of the public. Have we got this right? Click here to share your views.
