Nottinghamshire Police Confidence Plummets

Nottinghamshire Police’s public confidence hits a new low, falling below 50% in latest surveys — a drop from last year and further down from two years ago. Women and disabled people feel especially let down, while men’s confidence edged up. The Police and Crime Plan, focused on community policing and partnerships, is being tracked through these numbers. Local trends vary: Ashfield and Bassetlaw saw declines, Mansfield improved in tackling crime, Nottingham city saw more police visibility but lower confidence in investigations, and Rushcliffe remains strong — though Gedling shows signs of strain. Surprisingly, while police visibility rose slightly, reports of anti-social behavior dropped — yet more people say they’ve experienced it, possibly due to new issues like illegal e-scooters. Crime-wise, vehicle theft and robbery rose, along with domestic abuse and sexual offenses — linked to better reporting and risk assessments. Knife crime spiked, but thankfully, knife-related assaults and hospitalizations for youth fell. Support the show:Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
