Community safety survey 2023: How can we make Buckinghamshire safer?

Overview

We want to know the community safety concerns where you live or work to help us reduce crime.

If you are a young person, or know a young person who would like to tell us their views, see our young people’s survey at Youth Voice Bucks.

The Safer Buckinghamshire Board is the local community safety partnership that brings together experts from the police, fire service, probation, health and social care services.

Safer Buckinghamshire

We recently launched the Safer Buckinghamshire Strategy 2023 to 2026. It sets out 5 priorities to reduce crime and increase community safety up to 2026:

The Safer Buckinghamshire Board works with local partners and communities to understand concerns and deliver the 5 priorities.

To help do this, we want to know your community safety concerns from the past 12 months:

• the impact of crime and anti-social behaviour in your area
• your experience of reporting crimes
• how safe or unsafe you feel in Buckinghamshire

We want to hear from people living, studying and / or working in Buckinghamshire.
