Residents in Lancashire are being encouraged to take part in a survey about confidence in policing.
Lancashire Police and the Lancashire Police and Crime Commissioner Clive Grunshaw have shared the National Public Confidence in Policing Survey in order to help researchers understand how it can change over time.
You can take part in the survey by registering with Neighbourhood Alert.
The survey, which is labelled as voluntary and secure, closes on October 5 and should only take 10 minutes to complete.
In order to complete the survey, you must first register with Neighbourhood Alert.
Registration is secure and private, and you can leave at any time, and it is also free to register.
Once you have registered, you can optionally choose to receive updates from your local police force through the service, which is used by more than 95 per cent of police forces in the UK.
The National Public Confidence in Policing Survey is a major research study that looks into people's experiences and views regarding policing, crime, and antisocial behaviour in the UK.
Neighbourhood Alert by VISAV are delivering the survey on behalf of the College of Policing and the National Police Chiefs Council, who are working alongside researchers from University College London and the London School of Economics.
The research gathered from the survey aims to understand what impact neighbourhood and local policing has on communities, what shapes public confidence in policing, and how that confidence changes over time.
The survey uses a set of consistent questions to all participants across the UK.
Questions and topics you can expect from the survey include:
Crime and anti-social behaviour in your area, how safe you feel where you live, experiences of crime, anti-social behaviour and police contact, neighbourhood policing, how effective and fair you think the police are, and trust and confidence in policing.
But why take part?
The researchers are looking to hear from a wide range of voices, opinions and experiences, both positive and negative.
Every response is welcome, even if you personally haven't had any contact with police, as every response helps fuel research to better understand what is important to local communities.
