Chance to give views on policing


PEOPLE living in the rural areas of, the Ribble Valley are being asked to air their views on policing. A survey form is being


sent to outlying addresses throughout the area asking a variety of questions about police services in the coun­ tryside. Those receiving the sur­


vey are being urged to fill m the forms and return them quickly, so that the police can promptly work on the


information. Inspector. Bob Ford, of


Clitheroe police, said: “We are anxious to collect as much date as possible from them, so the more question­ naires that are completed- and returned, the better able we will be to gauge what people feel and want regard­ ing rural policing.” - The survey asks people


how safe they feel, what they think about the visibility of the police, what their views are on crime and disorder locally, and other related questions. .
