As Suffolk's PCC I represent you and your concerns, ensuring the policing needs of your community are met. I also set the direction and the budget for policing.
Thanks to everyone who stopped to chat at the Hadleigh Show at the weekend. It was a great engagement opportunity for @suffolkpolice and a chance for me to hear at first-hand how policing is affecting communities. A few concerns raised but on the whole very positive feedback.
Suffolk’s Chief Constable Rachel Kearton has today announced she will retire in October.
We thank Rachel for her service and wish her every happiness in retirement.

Earlier this week I joined our Independent Custody Visitors for one of their regular unannounced visits to Bury St Eds Investigation Centre.
I was great to hear about the sterling work they do to check on the welfare of detainees.
If you'd like to volunteer please get in touch.
I've signed off a decision to purchase Suffolk County Council’s share of Landmark House in Ipswich. The building is currently jointly owned by the PCC on behalf of Suffolk Constabulary, and Suffolk County Council.
