Have your say: Submit your questions for Merseyside Police’s first Scrutiny Meeting of 2025

Merseyside’s Police Commissioner, Emily Spurrell, is inviting residents to have their say by submitting questions for Chief Constable Serena Kennedy and her senior team ahead of the first public Scrutiny Meeting of 2025.

The quarterly Scrutiny Meetings are a key way for the Commissioner to hold the Chief Constable to account, ensuring that Merseyside Police delivers on its policing and community safety priorities. 

While the focus for the next Scrutiny Meeting will be Merseyside Police’s response to 999 calls and road safety, 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.

Residents can submit their questions by completing the online form.

The meeting will be live streamed at 13:00 on Monday 17th March to enable everyone to watch and hear the responses to their questions.

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.

“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.
