Police and Crime Commissioner Donna Jones is inviting residents across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight to have their say on policing priorities in an upcoming live Q&A session with Chief Constable Alexis Boon.

The Commissioner’s Oversight of Policing Services (COPS) is an hour-long online event taking place on Wednesday 22nd April at 6pm.

It will be streamed live across three Facebook pages: the Police and Crime Commissioner’s page, the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, and Hampshire & Isle of Wight Constabulary.

Members of the public can submit questions in advance or ask them live during the event, with topics set to include road safety, anti-social behaviour, police visibility, rural crime and business crime.

Donna Jones said her role is to listen to residents and ensure local policing reflects community concerns.

“My main role as Police and Crime Commissioner is to listen to people living and working across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight and take their concerns to the force.

“This ensures it delivers effective, local, visible policing that drives down crime and makes our communities safer.

“COPS is a fantastic way of doing that: providing answers and reassurance on the issues that matter most to people.

“Anyone can submit a question and I’d encourage you to do so.”

A recording of the session will be made available for those unable to watch live, and the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner will aim to respond to all submitted questions.
