A new era with new measures … How much would you agree or disagree that the police and local council are dealing with the anti- social behaviour and crime issues that matter in this area?

But does it matter? Police and Councils not so different after all? Q. Seek people’s views about crime/anti-social behaviour in local area? % Disagree% Agree Base: 1,896 GB adults, 18+. Sept Source: Ipsos MORI Police Local Council Police Local Council Q. Successfully dealing with crime/anti-social behaviour issues that matter? Police Local Council Q. Keep people informed about how crime/anti-social behaviour is dealt with?

We can communicate, consult, engage, involve and empower But what do residents want?

Need to understand the public point of view Base: 1,896 GB adults, 18+. Sept Source: Ipsos MORI Q Which of these statements comes closest to your own attitude towards how the Police and Local Council tackle anti-social behavior and crime in this area? 58% 16% 18% Already involved (3%) Want active involvement (3%) Want more of a say Want information (but no further involvement) Don’t care (as long as they do job)

So what do journalists want? Willingness to discuss issues Open/honest relationship Speedy response Long-term relationship Access to top staff Regular personal contact Pro-active attitude and actions Advance warning of stories Invitations to events Newsworthy material Regular press releases Base: Ipsos MORI Journalists study 2007 Importance Score

-  Perceived quality of press relations   + Base: Business & Financial Journalists (59), Summer 2005 Press relations and favourability -  Favourability to organisations  + Line of “best fit”

What do people want to be told, and how?

How would people like to receive information about local policing? And how, if at all, would you like to be kept informed about progress made on neighbourhood policing priorities? Police newsletter From police via letter Council newsletter From police at a public meeting From police via Local paper In person from a PCSO/police officer Police authority Crime and policing representative TOP MENTIONS Base: 1,585 adults aged 15+ living in England and Wales; fieldwork September 2008

% Very interested Base: 1,000 residents living in the Hampshire Police Force area; fieldwork 28 th August to 8 th September 2008 Public interest in police information Thinking about the sort of information the police could give you, can you please tell me how interested you would be in receiving information about each of the following matters? What is being done about crime and anti-social behaviour in your area How much crime and anti-social behaviour there is in your area Names and contact details of the safer neighbourhood policing team in your area Who is in charge of policing in your area How money is spent on policing in your area

Do we communicate the important things? How to pay bills to the council % Informed How to complain to the council What the council spends its money on How and where to register to vote Whether council is delivering on its promises What standard of service you should expect How you can get involved in local decision- making What the council is doing to tackle anti-social behaviour in your local area How well the council is performing Base: Birmingham CC BVPI survey 2006 Q How well informed do you feel about each of the following?

More and more proof that direct communications work

1. From OCJR …

Positive impact on confidence Proportion saying they were confident that the CJS was effective in bringing people who commit crimes to justice Source: % 10% 20% 30% 40% 50% 60% Any leafletPosted through door Handed personally Handed with explanation PrePost

2. From Surrey …

Impact of newsletters in East Surrey Tandridge Mole Valley Reigate & Banstead Confident in neighbourhood police Mole Valley Aware of neighbourhood officer/ team Tandridge Reigate & Banstead 39% 53% 42% 34% Feel well informed about policing Reigate & Banstead Mole Valley Tandridge 32% 41% 38% 23% 38% 35% 75% 66% 70% 58% 71% 70% 0% 20% 40% 60% 80% Wave 1Wave 2 %

What you say and how you say it

Be wary of … “Crime has been reduced by xx%” “This area is the safest it has been for xx years” “You are less likely to be a victim now since xx”

Remember … Year Proportion citing crime/law and order as a key issue

Keep it local, local, local

As well as localised …  Action-oriented –What is being done? –Is this tangible (ie how can people hold you to account?)  Visually stimulating –Pictures / maps / photos / colour  Contact details  Distribution ideally by local PCSOs/neighbourhood teams  Fairly frequent (at least quarterly?)  Branding will vary depending on area –eg in London “Metropolitan Police” has resonance, “Safer Neighbourhoods” does not –No Jargon (partnerships take care!)
