The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) would like to invite members of the Deaf community to take part in a focus group.

The aim of this session is to understand Deaf people's views and experiences of the police, including:

  • How Deaf people feel about the police.

  • Experiences of communicating with the police.

  • Any difficulties or barriers when accessing the criminal justice system.

  • What could be improved to make police services and communication more accessible for Deaf people.

Your voice matters!

This is an opportunity to share your views, experiences and suggestions to help improve communication, accessibility and confidence in the police and criminal justice system for the Deaf community.
