Value for Money

Norfolk Police Authority and Norfolk Constabulary are committed to ensuring that Norfolk residents receive continuous value for money from the services that the police provide. This commitment to manage resources efficiently and effectively, improving performance whilst driving down costs underlies all decision-making processes.

A Value for Money Strategy is in place, the implementation of which is monitored by a joint Authority/Constabulary working group. Achievement of value for money is independently assessed annually by both the Audit Commission and by Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabularies (HMIC).
