We are delighted to invite you to participate in a major new research study exploring people’s views and experiences of crime, anti-social behaviour and policing in the UK.
The research aims to improve:
- understanding of what shapes public confidence in policing,
- how confidence changes over time, and
- the impact of neighbourhood policing on local communities.
On average, it takes 10 minutes to complete, and it is entirely multiple-choice. No questions are mandatory, so you can skip any you would rather not answer. If you get distracted, you can save your progress as you go and come back whenever you wish.
Let's get started!

Why take part? Your views matter.
We want to hear from people with a range of experiences and opinions, whether positive, negative, or somewhere in between.
You do not need to have had contact with the police to take part. Every response helps build a better understanding of what matters most to local communities.
Who is behind the survey? The survey is being delivered through Neighbourhood Alert, which is the engagement platform developed by VISAV, on behalf of the College of Policing and the National Police Chiefs’ Council. They will be working with researchers from the London School of Economics and University College London to analyse the responses.
FAQs You may want to learn more before proceeding. You can access the survey's FAQs on our website
here. Please note that it will take you away from this page.
This survey is not a local priority survey, which your local police force may have invited you to complete. These will continue and are important to highlight any local concerns for your police to act upon.
Thank you!
