Who we are
Public confidence and satisfaction
The Government has set every force a target to raise public confidence that the police and local council are dealing with the anti-social behaviour and crime issues that matter locally.
The proportion of people surveyed in each of the following areas agree that the police and local council are dealing with the anti-social behaviour and crime issues that matter in their area.
Local Authority area |

These are the results of a face-to-face survey that was conducted in these areas which asked local people whether they agree that:
“The police and local council are dealing with the anti-social behaviour and crime issues that matter in this area”.
Care should be taken in making comparisons in local indicators that have used different survey techniques.
The survey is based on a random sample of people in the local area, with a
booster quota sample of “top-up” responses. The use of a random sample
with a quota booster sample seeks to ensure the results are broadly
representative of the local population. Quota samples may, however, inadvertently introduce unknown sources of statistical bias.
