Jo Coles, York and North Yorkshire Deputy Mayor for Policing, Fire and Crime, is calling on the public to share their views on violence and community safety in York and North Yorkshire.
This year’s survey also includes specific questions about online safety and Violence Against Women and Girls.
Anyone who has been a victim of violence, felt or feels unsafe or has been affected by violent crime can take part in the survey to help improve services and support going forward.
Jo Coles, Deputy Mayor for Policing, Fire and Crime said:
Serious violence has a devastating impact on victims, their families and our communities. While levels of serious violence in York and North Yorkshire remain relatively low, every incident is one too many and has a lasting effect on those involved.
Over the past year, David Skaith, the Mayor and I have continued to work with partners to understand and tackle the causes of violence, helping to keep our communities safe.
The Government has set an ambitious target to halve serious violence and having an accurate picture of what is happening in our area is important to ensuring we play our part in achieving that goal.
Please take a few minutes to tell us how safe you feel, wherever you live or work in our county and whether you've been affected by violent crime over the last year.
Every response will help us to do more to keep people safe in our region.
The survey is open until Sunday 27 September 2026 and can be accessed here:
