Police and communities are joining forces in the fight against crime thanks to a funding programme launched by the county’s Police and Crime Commissioner.

For the second year running, the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner for Norfolk (OPCCN) has received a prestigious national award for openness and transparency.

Before the PCC takes his proposals for the 2017/18 policing budget to the Norfolk Police and Crime Panel in February, he wants to hear from the county’s tax payers.

A PCC-funded employability programme aimed at reducing reoffending has supported 57 people with criminal convictions to access employment, education and training.

PCCs Lorne Green and Tim Passmore have revitalised the Norfolk & Suffolk Collaboration Panel to discuss opportunities for further collaboration across the two constabularies.

Just six months into his term, the PCC faces a big decision, and he wants the public’s input before he makes it – beginning with people in the Great Yarmouth area.

Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) across the eastern region have today come together in a commitment to intensify their fight against rural crime.

Police in Norfolk will be equipped with body-worn cameras in a phased roll-out to frontline officers beginning in the second quarter of 2017.

Communities in Norfolk can have confidence in the management of police finances after auditors gave the PCC and Chief Constable accounts for 2015/16 a clean bill of health.

It's national Hate Crime Awareness Week and communities and organisations are coming together to send the message that hate must not be tolerated and to encourage victims to report it.
