Feelings of Safety

Dear Resident,

My name is PC 1585 PICKERING and I’m one of the local officers from the Neighbourhood Policing Team responsible for Stevenage Town Centre.

As a team, we’re committed to understanding the issues that affect everyone in our community. Sometimes, you may come across and incident that may be upsetting or traumatic. Officers have recently dealt with a couple of incidents in the public domain, whereby the offenders have become violent which can upset onlookers.

You might be wondering, “What’s the point in completing the survey – nothing ever changes?” But your feedback genuinely helps us shape our priorities and respond more effectively to local concerns.

Our Feelings of Safety Survey is open to everyone, and right now, I’m focusing on your local area to identify how these incidents may have affected you and your community. 

If you have already completed this survey, thank you - the survey is always open, so you can complete it at any time. However, over the next few weeks, I’ll be reviewing responses closely to identify key issues and concerns.

The survey also gives you the chance to tell us what you appreciate about the area, share your views on police visibility, your trust in us to address local problems, and other topics that help us serve you better.

You can provide as much information as you wish, and I want to reassure you that we are actively reviewing all responses.

I’ll follow up with you in the next two weeks to share the results. In the meantime, you can view a summary of local issues via the word cloud on your area’s page: https://hertsconnected.co.uk/Content/AllLocalAreas
