🗣️ Have Your Say - Ask a Question at the Next PCC Accountability Board

Do you have a question about violence against women and girls or police use of force, including stop and search, in Nottinghamshire?

Now’s your chance to put it directly to the Chief Constable at the next Police and Crime Commissioner’s Accountability Board on January 28 2026.

The Accountability Board is a public forum where Police and Crime Commissioner Gary Godden holds Temporary Chief Constable Steve Cooper to account for the performance of Nottinghamshire Police.

It’s an opportunity for you, the public, to help shape priorities, raise concerns, and hear how the force is tackling key issues that affect our communities.

🎥How to get involved:

Thank you to all who responded to our initial callout, we received some fantastic questions around road safety and now need some additional questions around serious violence and knife crime. As such we’re re-inviting members of the public who are not affiliated with the OPCC or partner organisations to send in a short video question (maximum one minute) to mediaopcc@notts.police.uk by Wednesday 14 January by 10AM.

Please start your video with the following line: “My name is (first name) and I live in (location). My question for the Chief Constable on serious violence/knife crime/ is…”

PLEASE NOTE - We cannot accept written questions, we need your question in video form.

Due to time restraints, we won’t be able to feature all questions - but we’ll aim to include a balanced selection that reflects the key themes raised by the public. 

Once answered, we will post the Chief Constable's response to our social media pages, to see an example of how this works in practice, you can watch the video linked HERE.

This is your chance to be part of the conversation and help us create a safer Nottinghamshire for all.

📅 Deadline: Wednesday 14 January by 10AM.
