Public Views and Experience of Policing and Criminal Justice in Essex

Essex Police (EP) and the Office of the Police & Crime Commissioner for Essex (OPCC) are seeking a delivery partner for a project that obtains the views of Essex residents on the police and wider criminal justice system (CJS) in Essex including a boosted sample of those that have been victims of crime. This insight will help inform the policy and practice of Essex Police and support evidence-led commissioning of victims' support services. The PCC and Chief Constable for Essex are inviting bids from providers with extensive experience in public engagement within the police and criminal justice environment, including victims and witnesses of crime, to: (a) consult a representative cohort of Essex residents to seek their views and perceptions of Essex Police and the wider criminal justice system in the county to understand the progress that is being made against our priorities, in order to inform policy and practice (b) consult victims to find out about the level of service and support they have received in order to inform service delivery and the commissioning of appropriate support services.
