Fraud Prevention.
Fraud affects thousands of people across Norfolk and leads to losses of over £16 million each year. The exploitative methods used by criminals to manipulate people are sophisticated and often target the most vulnerable in society, but anyone can be a victim of fraud.
The Norfolk Community Safety Partnership provides resource and support to the Norfolk Against Scams Partnership commitment to taking a stand against fraud. The partnership’s ambition is to make Norfolk a scam free county. I would ask the council to share the link to these resources with Parishioners. > Visit our dedicated fraud webpage to find out more about what the partnership does to tackle fraud in our county
Neighbourhood Policing Survey
​More than 600 people have already taken part in the Neighbourhood Policing Survey - it takes just five minutes and means parishioners can help shape the future of policing in our neighbourhood.
Feedback will help inform how neighbourhood policing teams operate, ensuring they focus on the issues that matter most to the people they serve.
