Residents across Stone and the wider policing area are being asked to spare five minutes to complete a new local policing survey.

The short survey is open now and closes on Wednesday 29 April 2026. Police say the feedback will help shape the local priorities they focus on in the months ahead.
What the survey is asking
The survey looks at views on crime, anti-social behaviour and policing in the local area.
It is aimed at giving people a chance to say what matters most where they live, whether that is nuisance behaviour, visibility of officers, road safety, theft, drug dealing, or something else entirely.
Police say the answers will help them decide where attention is needed most across the Stafford local policing area, which includes Stone.
In their appeal, they said, “We know life is busy, but your feedback is essential as it will help us to shape local policing priorities and tackle the issues that matter most to local communities.”
They added, “We’d like to understand your views on crime, anti-social behaviour and general policing in your local area.”
The force says the survey takes around five minutes to complete.
