(Background to this message: It has been forwarded by someone that subscribes to Thames Valley Police Alerts. I have removed the first sentence because that is directed at the particular subscriber. They are seeking views relating to their service. There is an invitation to fill in their survey at the end. 

PVA features TVP Alerts on the website when we are aware of them because they are a useful source of information about initiatives underway, and actions that are recommended to avoid becoming a victim of crime.

Your annual opportunity to have your say

Dear xxxxx (removed by editor)

I am the Product Director for Neighbourhood Alert, the platform that Thames Valley Alert runs on. My team provides the security, development and support for the system. As part of that role, we deliver this annual national survey.

I know you are often asked to complete local surveys through the system, which shows how much your views are valued. This one is a little different, as it is a once-a-year opportunity for your voice to be heard nationally as well as locally. Your feedback is genuinely important to the policing and national leads involved. Every response helps shape how the Alert service, and particularly police, use the system to listen and share information that really matters to you. Whether you have been registered for years or just a few weeks, and whether your experience has been good or bad, your views help highlight what works well and where things can be improved.

In these difficult times of social division, tension and polarised views, it is increasingly challenging to deliver a true voice directly to citizens without media channels, social platforms or algorithms influencing, delaying or, in some cases, distorting that message. If you value this direct, secure service, or have ideas that could help improve it, now is the time to show it.

It only takes a few minutes to complete. Your responses are securely stored, never shared outside the system, and reported only in anonymised form at every level of policing, from local teams to national leaders, to ensure that good practice is recognised and acted on.

Please take a few minutes now to complete the survey and make sure your voice is heard.

You can complete the survey here by following this link.
