Welcome to the Mid Suffolk North Safer Neighbourhood Team.  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.  Our team covers the wards of Rickinghall, Walsham, Worlingworth, Gislingham, Hoxne, Stradbroke, Laxfield, Fressingfield, Eye and Palgrave.

The next neighbourhood policing meeting

We hold regular tasking meetings, which are attended by the police, county, district and parish councillors, as well as our partners from health and education organisations.

The aim is to:

• Discuss issues put forward by the local community.
• Select the top three priorities to be addressed and how we are going to tackle them.
• Arrange feedback to local people about progress.

These meetings are open to the public, so if you would like to come along and raise any issues with us, the next one for your area is on Wednesday 14th April at Syleham & Wingfield Village Hall, Syleham, IP21 4LT.  The meeting starts at 7:30 pm and finishes at 8:30 pm.

If you can't make the meeting and would like to get in touch about something which concerns you - please contact us
