How safe do you feel where you live and would you pay more to support local policing?

Dear resident,  

How safe do you feel where you live? Do you feel safer than you did five years ago? Are anti-social behaviour, drug-related crime or fraud affecting your community?

These are just some of the questions being asked in a new survey launched by the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight, Donna Jones.

The survey is seeking residents' views on a proposed increase in council tax to help fund local policing.

As part of the consultation, residents are also being asked about their experiences of crime, confidence in policing and what matters most to them when it comes to keeping communities safe.

The survey is your chance to tell the Commissioner:

✅ How safe you feel in your neighbourhood
✅ Which crimes concern you most
✅ Whether you trust your local police
✅ How confident you are that reported crimes are investigated
✅ Whether you know who your Local Bobby is
✅ What more visible policing would look like in your area
✅ Whether you would support paying more to invest in local policing

The results will help shape local policing priorities and inform decisions about police funding for the year ahead.
