Guernsey Police launch public priorities survey

The survey will run until 1 March

Guernsey Police has launched a community survey to find out what islanders would like to see prioritised.

Chief officer Damian Kitchen said the findings of the survey would be fed into future policing plans.

He said the goal of the exercise was "to ensure that the police service we provide meets the expectations of the community as best as possible".

The online survey will be available on the Guernsey Police website until 1 March.

'More trusting environment'

The force said it wanted to better understand "public perceptions of crime and anti-social behaviour" in Guernsey.

It would like to hear also about islanders' experiences of interactions with officers and how "confident" they feel about policing, Mr Kitchen said.

He said he hoped the survey would allow the force to "understand the prevailing feeling in the community".

"I also believe that open communication and engagement with islanders is key to creating a safer and more trusting environment for everyone," he said.

Mr Kitchen encouraged people in the Bailiwick to complete the survey and "let their voices be heard".
