Crime Survey 2025

Last year we committed to drive down crime and anti-social behaviour in Portsmouth and we’re delivering on that promise, with increased patrols, a named officer in every part of Portsmouth, new officers currently being recruited and more high visibility policing to tackle key issues like drug dealing, road safety and anti-social behaviour in our town centres.

With more police officers now being recruited for Portsmouth, I want to know your priorities for these officers in our area. Share your views with me here:
