Bailey is concerned about the impact of austerity on Norfolk Constabulary, Bailey stated, “It would mean a reduction of 110 officers; it would take my numbers to a historic low of 1,400. Community policing will be under threat. We will end up attending and investigating less, detecting less crime, and providing a service I don’t believe any chief constable would be happy with.”Honours
