Key Facts

Norwich is the central hub of Norfolk. The Norman cathedral dominates the skyline and ancient buildings, including the castle and medieval churches, contrast with the stunning modern architecture of The Forum, home to the BBC and city library, which sits alongside Norwich’s famous covered market.
A thriving retail centre by day, its stylish cafes, restaurants, theatres and bars, draw an influx of visitors to the city at night. Close to the countryside, Norfolk Broads and coast, Norwich attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors each year.
The City Centre neighbourhood is bound within the Inner Ring Road and includes some densely and diversely populated neighbourhoods. Though relatively safe compared to urban areas of similar size, Norwich City Centre deals with more crime than anywhere else in the county.

The team

Welcome from Chief Insp Dennis Lacey

Welcome to the City Centre Safer Neighbourhood page. I hope you will find the information on this site helpful and informative.

We are listening to your issues and concerns and working with our partners to improve the quality of life in your neighbourhood making you our priority. We are working hard to keep Norwich one of the safest places to live, work and visit in the country.

In addition to the Beat Managers and PCSOs, every Safer Neighbourhood has five teams of Safer Neighbourhood Team (SNT) Patrol officers who will respond to your calls for service 24 hours a day, investigate the crimes in your area and work with the Beat Managers and PCSOs to deliver your local priorities.

Speak to your local officers at our Chapelfield ‘cop stand’, visit one of our regular Safer Neighbourhood Action Panel meetings or contact us by phone, e-mail or online.

We are your Safer Neighbourhood Team and we are here to help.
