Victims of crime and antisocial behaviour across Bedfordshire are being urged to share their experiences as part of a review into local support services.
The initiative aims to ensure local people receive their full entitlements while identifying what is working well and where public agencies must improve.
Bedfordshire police and crime commissioner John Tizard said policing and the wider criminal justice system “must ensure that victims of crime receive the service, support and outcomes that they are entitled to.”
He confirmed he has commissioned a comprehensive review of local victim services, stating that “the people who know best what is required are those who have been or are victims of crime.”
The survey takes around 10 to 15 minutes to complete and is open to anyone who has been affected by crime or antisocial behaviour during the past three years.
Responses can be submitted whether the incident was reported to Bedfordshire Police or not.
Anonymous and confidential
Participation is entirely voluntary, and all submissions remain anonymous and confidential.
Information gathered through the process will not be shared in a way that could identify respondents, and taking part will not impact ongoing or closed investigations.
Tizard added that the survey results will provide the evidence needed “to drive change and improvements” across the county.
The consultation will remain open until Sunday, 17 August 2026.
Local people can complete the questionnaire online via the PCC’s survey portal.
Anyone requiring immediate or ongoing support can access confidential assistance through Signpost to Support or Victim Support.
