Residents are being encouraged to share their views on policing priorities in a live Q&A session.

The Commissioner’s Oversight of Policing Services (COPS) event will be hosted by police and crime commissioner Donna Jones with Chief Constable Alexis Boon.

It will take place on Wednesday, April 22 at 6pm and will be streamed across three Facebook pages: the police and crime commissioner’s, the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, and Hampshire and Isle of Wight Constabulary’s.

The hour-long online session invites residents to submit questions in advance or ask them live during the broadcast.

PCC Donna Jones said: "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."

The session will focus on priorities outlined in the police and crime plan, including road safety, anti-social behaviour, police visibility, and rural and business crime.
