4. I’m not happy about the amount of time it sometimes takes for the police to respond to reports of antisocial behaviour.
5. What exactly do you mean by ‘visible policing’?
6. Why don’t we invite a local police officer to a community meeting to discuss residents’ concerns?

11. In my opinion, visible policing can help people feel safer in their neighbourhood.
