Welcome to the Kesgrave and District Team Safer Neighbourhood Team website. In Suffolk, Safer Neighbourhood Teams are made up of Police Officers, Police Community Support Officers, Specials and Police Support Volunteers.

We work alongside staff from other organisations, including district and borough councils to provide an even better service to local people across the county.

Our team has a remit to solve problems identified by local people from your area – which could range from crime and anti-social behaviour to noise and litter. Remember, we are here to help you, so please get in touch with us if you need our assistance.

Kesgrave and District covers the wards of Kesgrave East and West, Witnesham, Grundisburgh,  Martlesham and  Rushmere St Andrew.
