MPA asks Londoners to have your say on policing in London

The Metropolitan Police Authority is asking Londoners to have their say and help identify the capital's policing priorities for 2011/12.

By completing a short online questionnaire Londoners can tell the MPA what are the most important issues for them and what they believe the police should be focusing. The questionnaire asks:

• what are your top three priorities for policing in London?
• why do you choose these priorities?
• what should the MPS be doing to tackle these priorities?

Kit Malthouse, Vice Chairman of the MPA, said:

"Public consultation plays an important part in setting the annual policing priorities for London and we want to encourage more and more Londoners to participate. All organisations do best when they listen to the people they serve and the police are no different.

“Participating in this annual consultation is a vital tool to help restore the vital link between our local communities and their police service.” 

The questionnaire is available at: www.mpa.gov.uk/publications/policingplans

Assistance to complete the questionnaire: If you require a telephone questionnaire, please call 020 7202 0063 (or minicom 020 7202 0173), leave your name and telephone number and somebody will call you back.
