The Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner for Essex is committed to involving the people of Essex in the decisions made on their behalf.
Therefore we want to understand your needs and views on Community Safety and the services provided by the Commissioner, particularly when the Commissioner works with Essex Police, Essex County Fire and Rescue Service and other partners.
Whether you live or work in Essex, or are visiting friends or family, you may have a view on what crime reduction, community safety and fire and rescue priorities should be, or how Essex Police and Essex County Fire and Rescue Service should best deliver their services.
You may also be able to provide feedback from personal experiences.
Your views help form the core priorities for the Police and Crime Plan and the Fire and Rescue Plan. The Plans are the PFCC’s strategy for crime reduction, community safety and fire and rescue services in Essex.
