Walk and Talk

Avon and Somerset Police are inviting women to meet with female police officers and PCSOs to show them areas in which they feel vulnerable or unsafe in their local communities.

Walk and Talks are open to women aged 18 and above who wish to share their worries or concerns regarding their safety in the local area with officers.

We will listen to you and, along with partner agencies, see what we can do to improve women’s safety on our streets.

What to expect

The Walk and Talk will:

• see you paired with a female police officer or PCSO
• take place at a mutually convenient time for you
• last around 30 minutes
• be tailored to the areas you wish to address or discuss

After the Walk and Talk has taken place, we will contact you by phone or email to obtain your feedback.

How do I apply?

Once we have received your submission, a member of your local Neighbourhood Policing Team will contact you to arrange a convenient time.

Email walkandtalk@avonandsomerset.police.uk if you have any further queries.

StreetSafe app

You can also report feeling unsafe in public spaces via the StreetSafe app, completely anonymously.

Whether it’s due to environmental reasons, such as poor street-lighting or anti-social behaviour or harassment, reports to the app are shared with your local police force and local authorities for action.
