This survey is seeking the views of Norfolk residents on policing and crime prevention in the county.
Sarah Taylor was elected to serve as your Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) in May 2024. PCCs are directly elected to be the voice of the people to deliver on the people’s priorities. They are responsible for holding the Chief Constable to account to ensure the priorities are being met – supporting the Constabulary to continue delivering the service people expect and need, but also challenging when required and representing the residents they serve.
One of her primary responsibilities is to publish a Police and Crime Plan. The plan will set out what Norfolk Constabulary’s priorities must be over the next four years, in order to keep Norfolk residents safe. As your PCC, Sarah now wants to hear from Norfolk residents about what your priorities are for preventing crime and policing effectively, so that these views can guide the Police and Crime Plan.
The PCC’s Office is also responsible for managing the Norfolk Community Safety Partnership. This partnership reduces crime and disorder in Norfolk by working with other organisations like Norfolk County Council and local councils, Norfolk Fire and Rescue Service, the NHS and probation. To make sure that the Partnership’s work continues to reflect local needs it has been agreed to have one consultation, designed to collect the information required by both the PCC and the Norfolk Community Safety Partnership.
Please take the time to consider the information in this survey and have your say. The consultation will run from 9am on Monday 2 September until 5pm on Friday 1 November.
The new Police and Crime Plan for Norfolk will be implemented in April 2025.
