Police Page

This page will be updated quarterly, I hope the information proves useful. Further information on this web site can be obtained from the Home Watch page. We also have links to Norfolk Police Web site to the right of this page.

The parishes of Hemsby, Winterton-On-Sea and Somerton are policed by officers from Caister Police Station. Pc’s 1292 Simon PEARCE and 1308 Emma GROSVENOR and PCSO Stephen BANES have parish liaison responsibilities for these villages.

Caister has a team of twelve officers who police an area stretching north from Caister to West Somerton, inland via Martham as far as Acle Bridge, bordered by the River Thurne. From here the River Bure forms the southern Boundary back to Caister. Caister forms part of the Great Yarmouth Sector of Norfolk Constabulary’s Eastern Area. The Caister Section is supervised by Sergeant Caroline ADAMS.

Summer 2006

Crime and Other Matters.

It has been a fantastic summer, and I hope it has been an enjoyable and prosperous one for everybody.

A busy holiday season, whilst desirable for those involved in the tourism industry in the area, always has a down side, and that is an increase in crime.

This year has been no exception. Whilst the crime rate remains very low and we continue to enjoy an exceptionally safe community in which to live, work or holiday, the summer months have seen the usual increases in violent crime, burglaries (not only to holiday accommodation, but also to garden sheds and the like), thefts and vehicle related crime.

Whilst we must expect these increases to take place, we cannot be complacent in dealing with them. The Police continue to patrol the parishes, targeting problem areas and responding to reports and I urge residents and visitors alike to be security conscious and vigilant. Keep your homes (or holiday accommodation), out-houses, vehicles and other belongings secure and do not hesitate to report any incidents of suspicious or anti-social behaviour.

Safer Neighbourhood Team

The Safer Neighbourhood Team is coming. From early September a dedicated team of Police Officers and PCSOs is due to commence working from Caister Police Station and take over the role of community policing and parish liason. I hope that as part of their role they will continue with the Police Pages on the Winterton and Hemsby web sites.

Regards, Pc 1292 PEARCE

Unfortunately Pc Pearce has moved and I have not recieved any more reports
