Public Safety Socials

Getting to the heart of community matters at our Public Safety Socials

Join Nottinghamshire’s Police and Crime Commissioner Gary Godden for a Public Safety Social in your area, an open, community-led conversation about what helps people feel safe where they live, work and travel.

These events are about listening, explaining and solving things together. It’s an opportunity for residents who care about public safety in their area to share local insights, hear what’s already happening, and explore what more can be done through partnership.

Public Safety Socials are designed to be relaxed, informal and constructive.

They are not public meetings or complaint forums, but spaces for people who want to contribute thoughtfully to discussions about community safety, neighbourhood issues and prevention.
Whether your interest is antisocial behaviour, neighbourhood policing, youth safety, rural crime, or wider community concerns, your perspective matters.

What to expect:

· A short welcome and context from the Police and Crime Commissioner, Neighbourhood Policing Team, and the local council's Community Safety Team.

· Open conversations over tea and coffee

· Opportunities to raise issues, ask questions and share ideas

· A focus on practical next steps and shared responsibility

Who should attend?

· Residents from across the advertised areas who care about public safety

· People interested in constructive discussion and solutions

· Community-minded individuals who want to be part of positive change

No prior knowledge of policing or public services is needed, just an interest in making your area a safer place for everyone.
