Norfolk residents are invited to pose their questions to the county’s Chief Constable as Police and Crime Commissioner (PCC) Giles Orpen-Smellie prepares to hold the second of his new accountability meetings with senior officers.
Known as the PCC Accountability Meeting, the session is a one of the key ways that Giles will be publicly holding the police to account for their delivery of the county’s Police and Crime Plan.
The quarterly meetings have been set up to allow Giles to question, challenge and scrutinise how the constabulary is serving the residents of Norfolk.
As the elected PCC, Giles is responsible for ensuring Norfolk has an efficient and effective policing service which is responsive to the needs of the county’s communities. A key part of that duty is scrutinising the performance of the force and how it is working to meet the priorities set out in Norfolk’s Police and Crime Plan.
The event on Wednesday October 20 will see Giles question the Chief Constable and senior officers, as well as putting questions to them that have been submitted by people across the county, this meeting will be held virtually and a recording of the meeting will be published after the event, along with answers to the questions asked.
Topics ranging from how to contact local officers, dog thefts, E-Scooters, road safety and speeding were all covered in the questions, which Giles asked Temporary Chief Constable Paul Sanford and his team of senior officers to respond to.
The PCC is encouraging people to share their questions with him no later than 5pm on Wednesday 6 October
