Have your say on policing in Gwent
The Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent, Jane Mudd, is asking residents for their views on policing in Gwent.
Commissioner Mudd is keen to understand residents’ views on a range of topics, including their confidence in policing, and their views on police funding for 2027/28.
Police and Crime Commissioners are responsible for setting the amount residents pay towards policing through their council tax. Almost 43 per cent of Gwent Police’s overall budget comes from local council tax.
Police and Crime Commissioner Jane Mudd said: “Residents have told me they want a more visible police presence. They want more to be done to protect the most vulnerable people in society and tackle the root causes of crime.
“Since I was elected in 2024, I have been proud to deliver on all of these issues. However, to maintain this work and cover the ongoing costs of previous increases in police officers and PCSOs, we need investment.
“Before I make any decisions about Gwent Police’s budget for next year, I want to give you the opportunity to have your say, raise any concerns and share your comments. I promise that your feedback will be read and considered, and that it will influence my decision-making.
“Please take a few minutes to complete my survey and have your say.”
