Welcome to the Avon and Somerset Police Authority website. Here you will find information about our work, policies and the latest news from the Authority. You can also download many of our documents and papers.

 

The Police Authority exists to ensure that an efficient and effective police service is provided for people who live and work within the police area of Avon and Somerset. You can read more about our responsibilities in ‘What we do' section of the website.

 

One of our key roles is to engage with local people to find out what you want from their police service. This is important because your feedback helps us to set the priorities and objectives for the police and informs the decisions we make about resources. 

 

We welcome your views and invite you to visit the 'Involving You' part of our website to find out more about how you can make your views count.

 

I hope that you will return to this site frequently to keep up to date with developments in your Police Authority and your police service.
