Public Question Time

Essex Police Authority meetings are open to the public and you are welcome to attend and if you wish, put a question to the Chairman. Dates of meetings are on this website.

If you would like to ask a question, tell a Member of the Police Authority Staff at the meeting. They will help you and make sure that the correct procedure is followed.

You will have the opportunity to ask your question early in the meeting and a microphone will be available if needed. The Chairman will answer your question in person or refer it to someone else to be answered. If time permits, supplementary questions may be possible.

The question and the answer given will be recorded in the minutes of the meeting and a copy will be sent to you.

Questions should be of a strategic nature about the police service generally – we cannot answer questions about specific cases or officers. It is better to refer local issues to the Divisional Commander in your area, or to your local Neighbourhood Action Panel.

If you cannot attend a meeting to put your question in person or if you would like further information about Essex Police Authority, please contact The Chief Executive, 3 Hoffmanns Way, Chelmsford, Essex, CM1 1GU or contact by email on epa@essex.pnn.police.uk or telephone 01245 291600.
