Your community policing team
Our service is one that puts people and community at the heart of everything we do. It’s one that keeps people safe, puts victims first, protects people from serious harm, strives to provide high quality investigations and prevents crime and anti-social behaviour.
We will work and problem solve with local partners.
We understand, to build trust and confidence, it is crucial for officers to be where they are needed and when people need them the most.
Our approach is shaped by our vision to make Suffolk a safer place to live, work, travel and invest. Our officers and staff will deliver this vision with courage, professionalism, compassion and a strong sense of community.
