Police Scotland Online Consultation

Posted on April 15, 2016

Police Scotland have launched a year-long online consultation, and want to hear from members of the public.

The public consultation is for you to tell Police Scotland what is important to you in your community, and give your opinion on policing and public services in Scotland. Responses will be considered at both local and national levels, and quarterly results will be announced by Police Scotland throughout the year.

For the first time, the consultation is hosted on a digital platform; as a result, responses can be edited by the contributor.

To submit your response, or for further information, please visit the Police Scotland website.
