Welcome to the Mid Suffolk South 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. Our team covers the wards of Barking, Somersham, Claydon, Barham, Ringshall, Bramford, Blakenham and Needham Market, Thurston, Hessett, Haughley, Wetherden, Rattlesden, Onehouse, Woolpit, Elmswell and Norton.

Our Team Priorities 

(what you told us we need to concentrate our efforts on)

1. Inappropriate use of Barham Picnic Site for anti social behaviour activity. -  link to more details

2. Speeding at 2 locations in Barham from the A140 direction close to Shrubland Hall, and on the B1113 Lorraine Way/Fitzgerald Road in Bramford. -  link to more details

Policing Pledge

The above priorities reflect local concerns and are in keeping with the Policing Pledge. It gives all forces the same set of guidelines which help ensure that local people receive a quality policing service, wherever they live.

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 educational 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 are not open to the public. However, the next one for your area is on 6th August 2009. If you have issues you want raised at this meeting – please contact us
