Police and Crime Commissioner has launched his
annual budget consultation setting out the
challenges facing policing in the county and
seeking residents’ views on how best to meet
them.
During
his fourth year of delivering his ambitious Police and Crime
Plan for Norfolk PCC Lorne Green is now
asking the public if they would be prepared to pay
extra in a bid to build a safer and more resilient
Norfolk – or prefer no rise at all. Monday 16 December until Friday 17 January 2020 and will see Lorne
touring the county to seek the views of Norfolk
residents. “It is imperative to me I hear
the views of as many Norfolk residents as I can to
ensure I make a fully informed decision,” said
Lorne.
“The increase in some of the most abhorrent and harmful crimes, including domestic abuse, sex offences, child sexual abuse and child sexual exploitation, has also left officers undertaking complex investigations on a frequent basis. “This fundamentally changes how the police need to do their business and long-term steps to make our communities and future generations more resilient are necessary. “Raising taxation is a decision no-one wants to take, particularly at a time when, for so many, incomes are stretched. “However, we are faced with some stark choices and I need to fully understand how supportive you are of the different options available to keep Norfolk safe and build long-term resilience.” Have your say You can read the full consultation document and take the survey online by visiting If you would prefer a hard copy of the consultation pack, these are available on request by telephone
