The police survey closes on 17 May [BBC]

People living in west Devon are being urged to take part in a police survey.

Officers in the area are keen to get feedback from the community on the issues causing most concern.

Police hope the information gathered will help direct their efforts and resources more efficiently.

The deadline for completing the online survey is 17 May.

Police neighbourhood team leader Sgt Tom Ottley said: “In recent months concerns have been expressed to my officers when speaking with the communities of west Devon around crime and anti-social behaviour, however this has not always been reflected in the reports we are receiving on police systems.

“This short survey will not take long to complete and is an opportunity for the people of west Devon to directly communicate to local police what their concerns are around crime and anti-social behaviour.

"We want to know people’s priorities and the survey will help inform how best we target our resources and keep everyone safe.”
