Put your questions to Merseyside Police’s Chief Constable

Thursday, January 26th, 2023 5:51pm

Merseyside’s Police Commissioner is inviting people to submit their questions for the Chief Constable and her senior team as she prepares for her next public Scrutiny Meeting. Emily Spurrell is responsible for holding the Chief Constable, Serena Kennedy, to account for delivering on her policing and community safety priorities and maintaining an efficient and effective police service in Merseyside. One of the key ways the Police Commissioner undertakes this crucial role is through quarterly public Scrutiny Meetings, which include questions submitted by the public which she then puts to t

While the focus for the next Scrutiny Meeting will be Merseyside’s work to tackle road safety and enforcement, emergency response and the force contact centre, the Commissioner is inviting questions on any policing or community safety issue with the aim of further increasing the openness and transparency around policing in our region.

The meeting will be live streamed at 1.00pm on Monday 20th March to enable everyone to watch and hear the responses to their questions. A full recording of the meeting will also be published on the Commissioner’s website following the session.

Merseyside’s Police Commissioner Emily Spurrell said: “One of my top priorities as Commissioner is to listen to what our residents have to say and to be their voice on policing and community safety issues.

“Your questions and opinions matter to me and can help to make Merseyside a safer place for everyone.

“I want to give people the chance to ask any question about the policing of our region and how Merseyside Police are working to deliver the priorities set out in my Police and Crime Plan to make our communities safer.

“It’s vitally important the public trust the police and can see that money and resources are being used wisely to deliver the best possible service to keep our communities safe. I hope by providing this opportunity it will help to reassure people that both myself and the Chief Constable are committed to being as open and transparent about the police’s work as possible.

“Don’t miss your chance to put your question to the Chief Constable and her team!”

The meeting will provide Chief Officers with the opportunity to give the Commissioner a detailed account of the force’s progress and how they are working to make our communities safer.

The Commissioner is also in the process of recruiting independent members to sit on the Scrutiny Panel to further increase transparency. 

How to ask a question

Please submit your questions by Thursday 2nd February 2023:
