Meetings are to be held across Suffolk for members of the public to have a say on crime in their area.
Suffolk's police and crime commissioner, Tim Passmore, is encouraging people to come along and take part in the meetings, known as 'Your Police Your Say'.
The first meeting will be taking place in Ipswich on Thursday, May 10 – with an event to be held in the Lowestoft area in July.
Mr Passmore will be joined by Assistant Chief Constable Rachel Kearton at this week's event, at Nansen Road Baptist Church from 7pm. There is no need to book for the event, guests can simply turn up. Tea and coffee will be on offer at the event from 6.40pm.
There will then be further meetings in each of Suffolk's districts: at Brandon House Hotel on May 24, Felixstowe Town Hall on June 7, Hadleigh Town Hall on June 20, the Wherry Hotel in Oulton Broad on July 9, Cedars Hotel in Stowmarket on July 11 and The Newbury Community Centre in Bury St Edmunds on July 12.
