Residents invited to one-to-one chat with Police and Crime Commissioner

Residents of Norfolk are being invited to meet with Police and Crime Commissioner Giles Orpen-Smellie to discuss any issues they may have about crime and policing in Norfolk.  

Giles’ next ‘Time to Talk’ session, where people are given direct one-to-one access to him, is due to take place on Friday 21 July 2023.  

The ‘surgery-style’ event will be held virtually and over the telephone, with people being allocated 15-minute slots to raise any questions or concerns.  

Giles’ Police, Crime and Community Safety Plan for Norfolk 2022-2024, launched in March of last year, sets out the strategic direction for policing the county with objectives for how policing services will be delivered in Norfolk. 

Residents with specific policing issues to raise are encouraged to get in touch.

"I am really keen to hear from people about any issues or concerns they may have about policing or crime in their area,” said Giles Orpen-Smellie.

“One of the ways residents can feedback to me is at one of my Time to Talk sessions which have proven popular to date as they give people key one-to-one contact.

“If you would like to speak with me directly, please do get in touch.”

Giles' sessions are in addition to the quarterly PCC Accountability Meetings (PAM) he hosts to publicly question, challenge and hold the Chief Constable and senior officers directly to account for their delivery of his plan, as well as to raise questions submitted by people across the county. 

The latest accountability meeting took place on Wednesday this week.
