Protecting your community: Why the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Norfolk matters
The Police and Crime Commissioner is elected by the people of Norfolk to look for and to find ways to help reduce crime and keep people safe. They do this by holding the Chief Constable to account for delivering an efficient and effective police service and by setting the annual police budget and the policing element of your Council Tax.
The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Norfolk is unique in that it leads on our county's community safety partnership and co-ordinates the delivery of a number of key objectives on behalf of other partners too.
This is a big deal, and has been described as “Visionary, innovative and effective”, as it sees the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner supporting local councils, policing and fire services, probation, youth offending, and others, to join forces and share resources, enabling them to do far more than they can alone.
