The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) carries out a wide range of consultations and engagement.
This is to make sure the PCC and his staff know what the people of Cleveland want and need. As a result, the OPCC can look at meeting their needs.
Current consultations
Victim support survey
The OPCC is currently conducting a consultation to better understand what type of support people need if they are affected by crime or antisocial behaviour.
The survey will help us to build a clear picture of what guidance and assistance helps victim/survivors to recover and move forward with their lives. People can respond to the survey whether they have been affected by crime or not.
The results of the survey will inform the design of a new service for victim support, to commence in April 2027.
Take part in the surveyCLOSING DATE: Friday 10th April 2026
