Cumbria’s Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner (Commissioner), David Allen, is asking residents to send in their questions regarding anti-social behaviour and how it’s policed in Cumbria ahead of his Public Accountability Conference (PAC) on Friday 25 October.
The Constabulary PAC is the quarterly meeting where the Commissioner holds the Chief Constable and Executive Team to account on the performance of the Constabulary to reduce and tackle crimes in a public forum. This PAC will focus on ASB – a key concern for residents and police in the county.
Anyone interested in submitting a question regarding ASB and how this is being handled by Police – either locally or county wide – should send their question to commissioner@cumbria-pcc.gov.uk before 5pm on Monday 21 October. Those submitting a question should also include their name and address.
Commissioner David Allen said: “My role is to be the voice of the public within Policing so this is what I intend to do in my Public Accountability Conference meetings.
“Everyone views ASB differently and has their own concerns around how it is policed so I am encouraging residents to submit their questions for me to then ask the Chief Constable and Senior Leadership on their behalf.
“We will let you know if your question has been selected to go forward to the PAC meeting and will respond via email with the answer provided.
“I am committed to being honest and transparent around what I am doing to hold the Constabulary to account and ensuring that your voices are heard within Policing.
“As your Police, Fire & Crime Commissioner, my role is to be the voice of residents within Cumbria, in respect of the Police and Fire services – I am your voice. If any member of the public has a concern about ASB or crime in their area, or around the Constabulary or Cumbria Fire and Rescue Service, please raise it with me at commissioner@cumbria-pcc.gov.uk or call 01768 217734.”
