Police Scotland Public Survey - North East Division
We have been asked to publicise the undernoted on behalf of Police Scotland (North East Division).
In April 2020, North East Division will publish their Local Policing Plans for each local authority area, Aberdeen City, Aberdeenshire and Moray. These plans will be in effect from April 2020 through to March 2023 and will include details of their Policing priorities for each area and how they intend to deliver them in conjunction with partners.
In order to fully inform these plans, they would welcome your opinion through completion of a very brief survey, the link to which is included below. Your opinion matters greatly to them and the short time it takes to complete the survey will contribute greatly to ensuring that Policing in your local area reflects the needs of our communities.
https://consult.scotland.police.uk/surveys/your-police/
The survey will remain open until 31 December 2019.
