Norton Canes — Neighbourhood Policing Team
Local policing team in the Staffordshire Police area: contact routes, current priorities and public events.
Geographically, Norton Canes is isolated from the rest of Cannock. It straddles the M6 Toll road and is also home to the only service station on the highway. The area encompasses part of Chasewater, which is a popular regional watersport and leisure facility. It borders Trent Valley division in Burntwood, along with Watling Neighbourhood Policing Unit and the West Midlands towns of Brownhills and Pelsall.
