Policing

Details of how Policing is organised.

Policing/Safer Neighbourhood Team

Policing in Kesgrave is managed by the Ipswich East Safer Neighbourhood Team. They are a dedicated team made up of police officers, police community support officers, special constables, volunteers and other organisations. They work together with local people in their neighbourhood to improve our quality of life.

There are 30 Safer Neighbourhood Teams spread across Suffolk and each team has a remit to solve problems identified by local people - which could range from crime and anti-social behaviour to noise and litter.

Kesgrave and Rushmere also jointly fund their own dedicated PCSO.

Suffolk Police and Crime Commissioner

Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) are the voice for the people, someone to lead the fight against crime, and someone to hold to account if they don’t deliver.

Their role is to represent you and your concerns, ensuring the policing needs of your community are met.

PCCs set the direction and the budget for policing.
