Community Safety

Community Safety

Citizen-focussed policing means reflecting the needs and expectations of individuals and local communities in decision-making, service delivery and practice. By responding promptly and effectively to citizen feedback, you will be able to improve public confidence, increase service user satisfaction, and strengthen public involvement in policing. But how can this be achieved at the front line?

GovMetric can help

GovMetric is a complete solution for measuring citizen demand and satisfaction at the point of experience, whenever and wherever that service is being delivered. In local government, GovMetric is successfully measuring citizen satisfaction in nearly 70 organisations and reaches over 10 million people across England and Wales. The GovMetric managed service provides:

  • A consistent approach to continuous user feedback across the sector
  • A powerful mix of structured responses and verbatim comments
  • An instantly recognisable and engaging interface featuring GovMetric's trademarked 'Smiley face' methodology - already familiar to millions of citizens through its extensive use in local government
  • Tools to measure demand over time and across different access channels
  • Integrated analysis and near real-time reporting
  • Genuine like-for-like benchmarking and shared learning

Citizens can rate their experience using the GovMetric kiosks or hand-held devices, and can also access GovMetric on the telephone, on the web, or even using post or email. This feedback is then rapidly and automatically collated and presented through a web-based reporting suite, making it easy to identify and prioritise areas for improvement.
