Have your say on the future of Policing and Fire Services

Cumbria’s Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner (Commissioner), David Allen, is asking the public for their views on the future priorities of Cumbria Constabulary and Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service through a public consultation.

 

The consultation results will assist with the development of the Police, Fire and Crime Plan for the next four years. The Plan sets out the aims that the Constabulary and Fire and Rescue Service will prioritise based on what the public would like to see from their services and will be used by the Commissioner to hold the Chief Constable and Chief Fire Officer to account.

As well as focussing on the priorities of the Services, the consultation is also asking residents how safe they currently feel in the county and their views on the current service they receive from Police and Fire and Rescue.

 

Cumbria’s Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner, David Allen, said: “As Commissioner, I am responsible for producing a Police, Fire and Crime Plan that sets out the priorities for Cumbria Police and Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service over the next four years.

 

“I am now developing this Plan and I really want to hear from you.  What do you want in the plan?, what do you want us to concentrate on?, what is important to you in the area where you live and work?

 

“In my role, I am the voice of Cumbrian residents in respect of policing and fire and I want to know what you think about Cumbria Police and Cumbria Fire & Rescue Services and if you have any concerns or issues.

 

“By taking part in this survey, you are helping me to develop the priorities and objectives I set out in my new Plan, and by which I can then hold the Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Service to account.

 

“I genuinely welcome all views – I want to hear your opinions on the services so that I know what is working well for the public and what can be improved so please do take part.

 

“As I have highlighted – I am your voice. If any member of the public has a concern about crime in their area, or around the Constabulary or Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service, please raise it with me at commissioner@cumbria-pcc.gov.uk or call 01768 217734.”

 

Anyone interested in sharing their views can do so through the survey. The Consultation closes on Thursday 5 September 2024. Papers copies of the survey are also available. To receive one, please email commissioner@cumbria-pcc.gov.uk or call 01768 217734.

 

If you wish to report to police you can do so online at Report a crime | Cumbria Police. You can also phone on 101. Always phone 999 in an emergency or if a crime is in progress.
