Local Information

Local Information for Local People

Considering that the local crime rate used to be nothing at all, anything untoward happening counts as a ‘crime wave’ if you want to believe statistics. However, there’s nothing to be gained by being complacent. The Norfolk & Suffolk Crime Prevention Unit have produced a downloadable checklist that you might find helpful.
