PCC invites public to pose their questions to Chief Constable at online Community Q&A
Merseyside Police and Crime Commissioner Emily Spurrell is inviting you to submit your questions on policing for an upcoming online Q&A session with Merseyside Police’s Chief Constable.
The questions you submit will be put directly to Rob Carden during the Merseyside Community Q&A, which will air at 6.30pm on Tuesday 5 May.
The session will be available to watch on the PCC’s Facebook page and YouTube channel, giving people across Merseyside the opportunity to watch and hear responses that matter most to them.
Questions can relate to local policing priorities, neighbourhood safety, crime, confidence in policing and the challenges facing Merseyside Police.
The session will also provide an opportunity for the Chief Constable to reflect on his first six months in post, including what has been achieved so far and the steps being taken to improve policing across the region.
Viewers will hear an update on the recent restructure within the force, why those changes were made, and how they are working to strengthen local policing.
The session will also look ahead, outlining priorities and plans for the future, and what they mean for communities across Merseyside.
The Merseyside Community Q&A is designed to support openness and accountability, providing the public with an opportunity to hear directly how Merseyside Police is responding to their concerns.
Merseyside Police and Crime Commissioner Emily Spurrell said: “My job is to make sure the public’s voice is heard in policing, and that starts with listening to what you want to know.
“I’ve made increasing transparency and accountability a core principle in my Police and Crime Plan and this Merseyside Community Q&A is another way for you to have your say.
“It gives you the chance to ask the questions that matter to you and to hear clear answers direct from the Chief Constable.
“If you have a question about policing in your area, I’d really encourage you to submit it and tune in on 5 May.”
A recording of the Merseyside Community Q&A session will be made available for anyone wanting to watch, alongside separate videos including excerpts from our most-received questions.
