How To Contact Thetford Police

In this ever-changing world of digital media and technology I am often asked what is the best method to contact the police, what should be reported on the emergency 999 number and what can be reported by other means. There are a number of ways in which you can get in touch with Norfolk Constabulary depending on the urgency and type of request. You can call 101 to report a crime that has already happened, seek crime prevention advice or make us aware of any policing issues in your local area. We experience a very high number of calls between 4pm – 8pm and many queries do not concern the police. For details of non-related police calls and the agency that should be approached please take a look at our webpage:

www.norfolk.police.uk

If you do not need immediate help please consider reporting your concern through our website using our online reporting forms. We also provide a range of alternative non-emergency contact numbers to assist those with other accessibility requirements which include a Mini-com number for the hard of hearing 01953 424 200 and a Text phone facility via 018001 101. A text to email service is available for the public on 07786200777. You can contact your local Safer Neighbourhood Team officers by email at:

SNTThetford@norfolk.pnn.police.uk

Remember, in an emergency situation you should always call 999. Emergency situations can include if you or someone else is in immediate danger or if a crime is in progress, if you need police help immediately for example due to a danger to life, serious damage is being or could be caused to a property, a potential criminal has been disturbed or stopped, a road traffic accident where someone is hurt or in danger.

Past & Present

Thetford Station opened in 1845 as part of the Norfolk Railway, later incorporated into the Great Eastern Railway. The railway tavern for travellers was built at the same time as the main station building to the south at the entrance to the station yard. Today little has changed in the immediate area, however the maltings have long gone and housing now surounds the south side of the station.
