General Comments
In total, 13 comments were received when respondents were asked if they had any comments on the topics raised within the survey. Of these three mentioned the impact of police funding upon resources, with one stating “Answer calls. Be more visible in the community. Challenge low level crime. All the rest is draining resources”. Two mentioned poor 101 response times, with both highlighting that this has impacted upon their decision to use 101 in the future.
One respondent noted issues relating to drug use, drug dealing on local public transport, aggressive street begging and harassment at the local bus station which has required intervention by the police or the bus supervisor.
One respondent stated that there should be "less road side focus / stop and searches and use the time to connect with members of the motoring community to show the police as friends and part of the community instead of the enemy". One respondent described their positive experience at local drop-in events and
“found the officers to be informative”.
