A group of MPs has launched an online survey for the public aiming to build a "people's police service".
The House of Commons home affairs committee has begun what could be the biggest parliamentary public consultation yet, calling on members of the public to give their opinions on the landscape of policing.
It wants people to outline which areas of police work are most important to them and what they believe should be a lower priority.
Committee chair Keith Vaz said: "Far too often the views of the public are ignored in favour of the 'good and the great'. But it is the public who pay for this service so their views are paramount.
"This is a one of a kind opportunity for the public to directly influence Parliament. We want the public to get involved with our inquiry and tell us what the police should be doing and what their top priorities should be.
"We hope as many people as possible will fill in the survey to help us create a people's police service."
The survey can be accessed hereand will run until June 17.
