Consultations

In order for your Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) to make informed decisions, they must ensure the Norfolk community has an opportunity to share their views and experiences, and communicate what they want and need from the services which affect them.

To do this, the PCC holds public consultations in the form of surveys which allow you, as a Norfolk resident, to have your say. These surveys are conducted online and in paper format to ensure as many people as possible have an opportunity to provide opinions on the issues that matter to them.

Details of the surveys currently underway can be found below. We try to keep our surveys as short as possible so they won’t take you too long to complete. We will also do our best to feed back to you on how your input is being used by your PCC.
