Public meetings and events

As well as holding regular public meetings to hold the Chief Constable to account for policing in Norfolk, your Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) is committed to giving Norfolk residents the opportunity to put their own questions to those in charge of the county’s policing service.

PCC Accountability Meeting

The PCC holds the Chief Constable to account for the policing service delivered in Norfolk via PCC Accountability Meetings. The agenda and reports for these meetings are published and members of the public are invited to submit their policing and crime questions to be answered by the Chief Constable and other senior officers at the meeting.

Time to Talk / Tour of county

Giles Orpen SmellieThe PCC made a commitment to the residents of Norfolk to be visible, accessible and accountable. To fulfil that pledge, Giles Orpen-Smellie has introduced regular 'Time to Talk' sessions to allow residents across Norfolk to meet directly with him to discuss any issues they may have about crime and policing in their community.

The meetings are held virtually or over the telephone and give people direct one-to-one access to Giles.

They come in addition to his regular tours of towns and villages across Norfolk and the quarterly PCC Accountability Meetings Giles hosts to publicly question, challenge and hold the Chief Constable and senior officers directly to account.

Giles' next 'Time to Talk' session is due to take place on Tuesday 23 January 2024.
