Today (Wednesday), officers and Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) from neighbourhood policing teams across Hampshire and the Isle of Wight will be taking part in a Let’s Talk day of action. The Let’s Talk initiative is the force’s approach to help deliver exceptional local policing and tackle the things that matter most to those we are keeping safe. This is achieved through a community survey, which is built onto our existing Hampshire Alert community messaging system and which helps us gather information from about local issues from those we engage with. During this day of action, neighbourhood officers and PCSOs will be will be out and about speaking with residents on their doorstep or in various public locations to hear from them about what concerns them most when it comes to where they live. Inspector Antony Botten, who is leading the day of action, said:
“Since we launched Let’s Talk on 6 March this year (2024) we have heard from over 16,000 residents about issues in their local areas. “Local neighbourhood policing teams have then used this information to tackle issues and concerns of residents, including sharing relevant information with the right partner agencies where issues raised were not policing related. “This day of action will help us to continue understanding and addressing the issues that our local communities experience on a daily basis. By sharing their concerns with us, we can work with others to make our communities safer and stronger. “If you see one of our officers or PCSOs knocking at your door, please spare a few minutes to talk to them. Alternatively, you can have your say online by visiting www.hampshirealert.co.uk/letstalk“
Chief Superintendent Clare Jenkins, strategic lead overseeing the Let’s Talk initiative has said:
“Listening to community concerns helps us to be able to deploy our teams effectively to tackle crime and anti-social behaviour. This along with working with local partners helps to improve safety in our local communities. “We look forward to letting you know about how we are tackling the issues you have reported to us.”
Wouldn’t it be a good idea if they were out on foot patrol and talking to people every day instead of just ignoring them and failing to maintain law and order
Mmm mmm feet taste so good
Would help if the link worked lol
7 hours passed and li k still doesn’t work.
Ok chaps everything must be good because no one has logged in to tell us anything, off to Costa we go……..
10 hours passed and still doesn’t work. Police must be thinking wow we do an excellent job
20 hours later still not working
So they are asking their officers to go cold calling when most people have access to technology and can easily complete this survey from their armchair. I would rather these officers concentrated on their daily role dealing with criminals and protecting the public. Sounds like someone’s vanity project to me.
Papering over the cracks .. this PR stunt fools no one .. crime is as bad as ever, Police presence is a luxury if you see one .. while the PCC dreams up another brain phart idea to get volunteers to do the police’s job ..
