PCC to quiz Norfolk's Chief Constable on progress against county's Police and Crime Plan

Policing in the county will once again come under the spotlight this week as Norfolk’s Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) holds his first Police Accountability Forum of 2019.

PCC Lorne Green will quiz Chief Constable Simon Bailey on progress against the county’s Police and Crime Plan at the meeting at Norfolk Police HQ in Wymondham on Thursday 31 January.

The focus of the meeting will be the following three priorities within Norfolk’s Police and Crime Plan:

• Good stewardship of taxpayers’ money
• Preventing offending
• Increasing visible policing.

The meeting will also look at Norfolk Constabulary’s response to a report from Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) on hate crime.

“The Police Accountability Forum is one of the mechanisms through which I hold the Chief Constable to account”, said Lorne.

“I’m committed to ensuring my work as PCC is open and transparent, and I’d welcome anyone who would like to know more about the work of their police force to come along on Thursday to observe.”

The Police Accountability Forum will take place between 2pm and 4pm in the Filby Room, Norfolk Police HQ, Wymondham, NR18 0WW on Thursday 31 January 2019.
