The next Safer Neighbourhood Action Panel (SNAP) meeting is being held on Monday 20 July 2009 at 7.30pm in Sprowston, venue to be confirmed. All SNAP meetings are open to the public and provide an opportunity for the public to voice their concerns about issues in their neighbourhood before a panel of representatives from local agencies, e.g. Police, Neighbourhood Wardens, Housing Officers, local Councilors, Education Authority and Health Authority members etc. Three priorities are then chosen from the issues raised and an action plan developed. At the next SNAP meeting the panel reports back to the public about what action has been taken, if actions are acceptable these are then signed off and another three priorities are set. These meetings are an opportunity for local residents to have a say about issues in their area which affect them which in turn dictates which issues become the our main focus.

Crime Mapping
Norfolk Constabulary has introduced crime maps so you can see the levels of crime where you live. In comparison with most other police services, Norfolk records very low levels of crime. The crime is categorised on a map of Norfolk according to burglary, robbery, vehicle crime, violence, anti-social behaviour and all crime. Simply type in your postcode or click on the map to see the levels of crime in your district and ward. The maps are updated monthly and compare recorded crime over the previous year. You can see if crime has increased or decreased where you live and what type of crime has the greatest impact in terms of volume. To see your crime map follow the link below.
