THE Police and Crime Commissioner for Wiltshire and Swindon Angus Macpherson conducting a large phone survey to gather opinions on how the county is policed.

Researchers will contact about 2,000 householders from Monday.

Mr Macpherson said: “The survey will also explore issues such as quality of life and fear of crime.

“The information helps me to commission services from Wiltshire Police and helps senior police officers to understand the needs and priorities of the people they protect.

“I will continue to commission these surveys each year so that we have reliable, up-to-date information.”

For any concerns that a phone call might not be genuine, call Wiltshire Police on 101 and ask for Ruth McGee, on extension 2396.
