One more day to have your say on the new Local Policing Priorities.

Dear Resident

Speeding, Anti-Social Vehicle Use and Fly Tipping are currently the top three concerns across Hertfordshire this December - there's still time to tell us about your local concerns and share your feedback. 

Other concerns that residents like you are sharing include Feeling Unsafe, Drug Related Issues and Anti-Social Behaviour in our communities. 

Every Neighbourhood Police Team will meet in the first two weeks of January to set new priorities, but also identify localised issues affecting your community, directly from public feedback.

Although the survey itself is always available for you to complete at any time, feedback received before midnight on 1st January 2026 will be reviewed by your local Neighbourhood Team for the upcoming priority setting in January -with the next round taking place in April 2026.

What is a local policing priority?

NPTs work alongside partners to focus on solving long and short-term neighbourhood issues, such as anti-social behaviour, theft, speeding and drug-related crime.

They set local policing priorities every four months, to provide a specific focus on the issues which are currently causing the most concern to residents locally.

What can the public expect?

The responses you provide are reviewed by your local officers. 

Residents will see their dedicated team of PCs and PCSOs working alongside partners to address the agreed priorities, through an increased police presence, engagement events and targeted enforcement. 
You can see what your community are saying in response to this survey by visiting the Local Area Pages and entering your postcode. 

What about other crime and issues?

Every area of the county is covered by a NPT but is also policed by response officers who attend emergency calls, detectives who investigate crimes such as burglary, robbery and assault, and specialist countywide units. While there will be a focus on the local priorities, officers will continue to respond to daily business as usual, as well as force wide priorities.

We want to ensure that local policing resources are focusing on the issues that matter most, so we'd encourage everyone to share their views with us by completing the survey via the button below.

If you have previously completed the survey, we’d ask for your feedback once again for it to be reviewed as part of the new priority setting period.

Finally, you don't need to be a Herts Connected member to complete the survey - you can share this message with friends and family, or directly to social media by using the SHARE button below.

The new priorities will be announced once the NPT Officers have reviewed the feedback in the first two weeks of January.
