About us

Local policing teams are groups of officers dedicated to serving the community. Teams are made up of officers based in the area, supported by additional officers from the wider area. 

Teams work closely with local authorities, organisations, partners and residents to decide policing priorities. This helps teams find long-term solutions to local problems.

Policing priorities

  • Priority:

    Action taken:

  • Priority:

    We work with the community and local partners, as well as looking at our own data to come up with priorities that we will have for Dersingham and Gayton for the next three months:
    Tackling rural crime and antisocial behaviour across west Norfolk

    Issued 04 February 2026

    Action taken:

    Across Dersingham and Gayton we’re continuing to patrol the rural villages to deter rural crime and prevent antisocial behaviour. We’ve done a number of school visits covering topics including how we can help young people and road safety.
    As the weather improves and we start to see more people visiting the area we've been speaking to organisers of events like Tulips for Tapping to ensure everything runs smoothly.
    To tackle rural crime we’ve been doing regular patrols along the major roads, visiting vulnerable rural businesses to offer crime prevention advice and speaking to victims of crime.

    Actioned 23 April 2026

  • Priority:

    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 Dersingham & Gayton for the next three months:
    Tackling youth and vehicle related anti-social behaviour
    Tackling rural and acquisitive crime

    Issued 01 May 2026

    Action taken:

    It's already been a busy start to the summer with events and engagements across the area. As we start to see more visitors we'll also be in the tourist hot-spots helping to provide crime prevention advice. We've visited schools and youth groups too.
