Opportunity to meet with the Police and Crime Commissioner

Norfolk’s Police and Crime Commissioner Giles Orpen-Smellie is inviting residents of Norfolk to discuss any issues they may have about policing and crime in the county.

Giles’ next ‘Time to Talk’ session, where people are given direct one-to-one access to him, is due to take place on Tuesday 23 January.  

The ‘surgery-style’ event will be held virtually and over the telephone, with people being allocated 15-minute slots to raise any questions or concerns.  

Giles’ Police, Crime and Community Safety Plan for Norfolk 2022-2024, sets out the strategic direction for policing the county with objectives for how policing services will be delivered in Norfolk.

Residents with specific policing issues to raise are encouraged to get in touch.

“It’s very important for me to hear the concerns of Norfolk residents. When residents speak to me on a one-to-one basis, it helps me to understand what is happening at a local level and what really matters to their community. I really hope people will take this opportunity to register,” said Giles Orpen-Smellie.

Giles' sessions are in addition to the quarterly PCC Accountability Meetings (PAM) he hosts to publicly question, challenge and hold the Chief Constable and senior officers directly to account for their delivery of his plan, as well as to raise questions submitted by people across the county. 

The next accountability meeting will take place on Tuesday, 30 January at 10am.

If you are interested in booking a ‘Time to Talk’ online or telephone session with the PCC on Tuesday 23 January between 2.30pm and 4.00pm, please email: opccn@norfolk.police.uk or call: 01953 424455.
