The policing team is based at Stowmarket Police Station, from where the officers cover a large part of the Mid-Suffolk District. We work closely with our colleagues and partners across the county to make this a safer place to live, work, travel and invest.
This page contains a wealth of information about the local team, which will keep you updated and tell you the best ways to contact us.
