Use Your Voice: Make Wiltshire Safer

Wiltshire’s PCC Philip Wilkinson has launched a public survey and consultation – and wants to hear from you. 

Part of the PCC’s role is to produce a Police and Crime Plan for the county. It’s a blueprint for the strategic policing and crime priorities for the next three years. 

It sets out how the PCC’s pledges and priorities will be delivered throughout Wiltshire but more importantly it should reflect the needs and priorities of all our communities. 

So this is where YOU come in 

The PCC is asking you to Use Your Voice and help him to make Wiltshire safer for all. 

It is vital that all parts of our communities’ voices are heard. 

What you say will directly influence Wiltshire Police’s priorities, objectives and activities. The new Police and Crime Plan will ensure both the force and the PCC’s office are working towards the same goals in a joined-up, co-ordinated, approach. 

It also will be the way the PCC holds the Chief Constable to account for delivering these priorities – your priorities. 

Remember, if it matters to you, it matters. Use your experience to help make Wiltshire safer. 

Here’s the timeline 

The first part of the PCC’s Police and Crime Plan development is centred around a public survey which aims to be as wide-reaching and diverse as the community he represents. 

This is open for four weeks until Friday 2 August and there will be a variety of ways you can get involved. 

After the plan has been drafted, the PCC will be taking it around numerous events and stakeholder groups looking for your feedback before the final draft is presented to the Police and Crime Panel in November. 

Get involved 

As a key partner or stakeholder – or an interested member of the public – you can have your say on the draft Making Wiltshire Safer: Police and Crime Plan 2024-29.

The OPCC is gathering formal feedback from Wiltshire Police, as part of this process, and will also ask for this feedback from commissioned services and other key partners and stakeholders. We are also holding two, online, councillor forums for councillors from across Wiltshire and Swindon to have their say. We have also invited all our Members of Parliament along too. The PCC is committed to listening to residents and considering their feedback and how this can be reflected in his Police and Crime Plan.

Feeding back to this draft plan is now closed.
