Message from Inspector Teresa Futter Welcome to this month’s newsletter. Working closely with the local community is key to delivering all aspects of modern policing. I encourage you to continue to support us through our Public Engagement and Safer Neighbourhood Action Panel (SNAP) Priority Setting Meetings, the date of your next meeting can be found overleaf. As the nights draw in, I would like to remind you that the darker evenings can make it easier for opportunist criminals, so I would ask you all to be vigilant, secure your homes and property and to report any suspicious people or vehicles to us immediately via 101 or 999.

We are currently recruiting Special Constables to work alongside local policing teams in the North area. The Special Constabulary is a voluntary body, whose officers form a vital part of the police family to assist their regular colleagues to police the communities of Norfolk. Specials come from all walks of life and are valued members of our organisation who give up some of their spare time to help us keep the county safe. As a special, no two shifts are ever the same - you could be dealing with road traffic collisions, public order, domestic disputes, missing persons or fires. You may also be asked to assist at large scale public events. These can range from village and town festivals and local sporting events to county shows and royal visits. If you would like to find out more come along to our information evening at Police Station at 6:30pm on Tuesday 19th September. If you are coming along please confirm your place by calling 01953 425699 (Extension 2371) or email [email protected]. What is happening in your area
