PCC invites Norfolk residents to send questions on policing and crime to their Chief Constable
Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Sarah Taylor is inviting residents to pose their questions to Norfolk’s Chief Constable as she prepares to host her third accountability meeting of 2025.
Known as the PCC Accountability Meeting (PAM), the session is one of the ways the PCC, acting as the public’s elected representative, holds the police to account for their delivery of the county’s Police and Crime Plan. These public meetings have been set up to allow Sarah to question, challenge and hold the Chief Constable and senior officers directly to account.
The next meeting is due to take place on Tuesday 8 July, and will be based on the PCC’s newly set priorities, detailing the strategic direction for policing in Norfolk. These were published in the PCC’s Police and Crime Plan 2025-2029 in March of this year. Questions must be submitted prior to the meeting and the PCC is encouraging people to share their questions with her no later than 5pm on Monday 23 June via the Norfolk PCC website, by SmartSurvey, by email or by post.
Sarah said: “While there are lots of changes happening nationally, it is important that I hear from Norfolk’s residents at a local level about what’s affecting their own personal lives, so I am very keen to hear from people about their expectations and concerns relating to crime and policing.
"This is everyone’s opportunity to ask senior officers via me, the PCC, about what matters most to them. I've had questions raised about all kinds of issues, from road safety in specific villages, through to the Constabulary's response to serious violence. Whatever your question, if it relates to policing in Norfolk, I'm keen to hear from you."
The PAM agenda and reports will measure delivery and policing performance on the three priority areas set out in the Police and Crime Plan:
- Preventing Crime
- Cohesive Communities
- Reducing Harm
The next PAM will take place on Tuesday, 8 July from 10am in the Barsby Conference Room at the Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner, Building 7, Jubilee House, Falconers Chase, Wymondham, Norfolk NR18 OWW.
People are welcome to attend and observe the meeting in person. This will also be recorded and published on the OPCCN website. The deadline to register attendance is 5pm on Monday, 30 June.
