SPEEDING drivers are most likely to prompt people to call the police, survey results suggest.

The latest Sussex Police survey found some 65 per cent of respondents would reach for the phone if they spotted a speeding vehicle.

Some 61 per cent of those who responded to the questionnaire said they would be eager to report drugs and 60 per cent would report street drinking.

Just four per cent would spend time reporting litter or dog mess. When asked how they would like police to respond to such calls, many said they would like them to attend the scene in most of the scenarios.

Most people who took part said they would most likely dial 999 rather than the non-emergency number 101 if they were worried about the welfare of a neighbour or someone drinking in the street.

Just under 700 people responded to the survey in May. It is the second of the new wave of questionnaires the force is sending out to the public so it can find out what people think of the force and how it operates. It also found cyber crime, terrorism, hate crime, anti-social behaviour, violent crime, drugs, thefts and burglaries were threats people believed the force would face in the future.
