Have your say in Sussex Police & Crime Commissioner Katy Bourne’s survey.

Sussex PCC Katy Bourne has launched her annual survey seeking the views of residents across the county.

The Safer In Sussex Survey seeks to understand if residents have experienced crime, and looks at what measures would make them feel safer in their communities.

Responses to the survey will help Commissioner Bourne to understand where resources within Sussex Police may be better placed, where increased partnership working could help to drive down local issues, and to scrutinise the force on areas requiring improvement.

The survey is open now and will close at 23:00 30th October 2025.

Launching the survey, Mrs Bourne said: “As your elected voice within policing, the survey helps me understand your concerns and informs how I can effectively hold our Chief Constable to account for the performance of her force.

“Please take a moment to give me your feedback. You can also opt in to being contacted in the future to have a more detailed say in a focus group run by my office.”

Just watched this. Totally blown away at the performances given by the whole cast. A powerful and emotional drama that takes a deep dive into the tragedy of knife crime and the influence of social media on our kids and the devastating effects this has on the families on both sides. This should be required watching for any kid growing up in today's world.
