Essex Police Challenge comes to Witham
Have you got a question for the Chief Constable?
The Essex Police Challenge is your chance to have a voice in the debate around the policing of our county.
Nick Alston has created the Essex Police Challenge as a key part of his role as Police and Crime Commissioner to hold the Chief Constable of Essex to account on behalf of the people of our county and to provide opportunities for the public to directly raise any matters that may concern them.
Six Essex Police Challenge events have already been held, and the next event will take place in Witham on the evening of Thursday March 12.
The main subjects for the next Essex Police Challenge event will be:
1) a countywide Essex Police performance update, with a focus on crime trends in the Braintree district;
2) the future of the police property estate, including police stations;
3) child abuse investigations and work underway to address problems which have been uncovered in the North Child Abuse Investigation Team;
4) there will also be plenty of time for questions from the public and answers from the Chief Constable and the Police and Crime Commissioner.
Please come along and, time permitting, ask a question yourself, either on one of the main subject areas or about a policing or community safety matter of your choice.
Performance figures for Essex Police to the end of January 2015 can be found at the links below:
