Safer Thetford Action Group
The Safer Thetford Action Group panel, or STAG for short, holds quarterly meetings that are open to the public. They were brought into being some years ago now with the aim of providing those who live and work in the Thetford area the opportunity to discuss directly with local Police and partners (such as Local Authorities, community figures and voluntary and charity organisations) concerns or issues which directly affect or impact on the day to day lives of the community or individuals. The STAG meetings are held every three months throughout the year, in January, April, July and October and are open to the public and supported by our Local Police Team and Police Engagement Officer. The STAG process offers community members and residents the opportunity to chat with your local Beat Managers about anything that may be causing an issue in your area. The Beat Managers provide updates on work that they have been doing over the previous three months and give any updates on matters such as court results for investigations that have concluded. Attendees are invited to put forward and discuss any concerns that they have in their community, after which issues raised will be voted upon, deciding the next priorities for the Policing Team. If you can’t attend STAG meetings and would still like to raise an issue or concern with the Local Policing Team Beat Managers, please email them direct at: SNTThetford@norfolk.police.uk STAG held a meeting on Thursday 7th April, at which the following priorities were upheld: Police Priority 1 – Anti social behaviour (ASB) in the PSPO area of Thetford town centre.
Police Priority 2 – Drug misuse. Police Priority 3 – Illegal off-road vehicle use and car meets at retail parks. STAG Project 1 – Community impact assessment (CIA) and reduced strength scheme. STAG Project 2 - #30 for Thetford (blanket speed restriction within town boundary). STAG Project 3 – River safety signage and safety equipment.
