Norwich North

We work with the community and local partners, as well as looking at our own data to come up with the priority that we will have for Norwich East for the next three months:
Operation Focus patrols in areas identified for anti-social behaviour and serious violence.

To address this priority, we have:

- Carried out patrols across Norwich North areas, focusing on our hotspot areas where see more anti-social behaviour.
- Carried out neighbourhood meetings to speak to the public and local people around any local concerns.
- Our partnership and neighbourhood teams are in regular contact with local businesses and partners to understand issues in the hotspot areas.
- Officers continue to obtain court orders such as CBO’s for individuals who continue to cause issues in the Norwich North area.

We encourage you to report any anti-social behaviour by reporting on the Norfolk Police website.
