Norwich West — Neighbourhood Policing Team

We work with the community and local partners, as well as looking at our own data to come up with the priority that we will have for Norwich West for the next three months: Operation Focus patrols in areas identified for anti-social behaviour and serious violence.

To address this priority, we have: - Carried out patrols across Norwich West areas, focusing on our hotspot areas where see more anti-social behaviour, which includes our green spaces. - Regular patrols around key schools in the area – dealing with ongoing parking and anti-social behaviour issues. - Carrying out Street Surgeries around key locations to speak to the public and local people around any local concerns. - Regular visits and engagements with the Baseline charity on Knowland Grove. - We have continued with our key relationship with the UEA; attending meetings, offering support to security around issues and safeguarding and being a reassuring presence on campus and the local area. - Regular visits to our local libraries and retail locations to support with any anti-social behaviour and theft related issues. - Continued engagement with Asylum Hotel, working with staff and occupants around safeguarding and community cohesion. - We continue to carry out stop searches on individuals where officers have the power to. We encourage you to report any anti-social behaviour by reporting on the Norfolk Police website.
