During the pandemic, police services across the UK have been given powers which would have been almost unimaginable only a number of months ago.  Policing in Scotland relies on the support of the public and the granting of such significant powers places an incredible responsibility on us to use them appropriately, reverting to enforcement only as a last resort.

We are proud to be part of the communities across Lanarkshire and are proud that we have strong levels of support.  However, we want to ensure we are as good as we can be and establish where we can learn. 

With this in mind, Police Scotland is undertaking a short survey (link below) to track public confidence levels and experience of our approaches to policing during these difficult times.  The survey will capture people's feeling of safety, what we are doing well, and any concerns they have which we can address operationally and through our information campaigns. The survey will also capture feedback from those who have contacted us during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Policing by consent is a cornerstone of policing in Scotland so we are keen to take on board a broad range of views.  The findings will be reported to Force Executive so that we can respond appropriately.
