The Dacorum Community Safety Partnership invites residents, businesses, and visitors to share their perspectives and experiences in the 2024 Community Safety Survey.

This concise online survey aims to understand residents’ concerns and priorities regarding safety, crime, and anti-social behaviour in the borough. Respondents’ valuable feedback will be crucial for the Partnership to develop effective strategies in making Dacorum a safer place for everyone.

Understanding residents’ priorities

  • How safe do residents feel in Dacorum?
  • What concerns do they have about crime and anti-social behaviour?
  • What improvements would enhance community safety for residents?

Residents’ survey responses will directly inform the Community Safety Strategy and local safety improvement plans. By sharing their experiences, individuals can help shape how resources are allocated and initiatives are implemented to address their concerns.

The survey runs until 11.59pm on Friday 1 March 2024.
