As Suffolk Police move closer towards implementing the new local policing model on 4 April 2016, some front counters at police stations across the county will have reduced opening hours over the coming weeks.
As part of the Suffolk Local Policing review, from 4 April 2016, front counters at police stations in Ipswich , Bury St Edmunds and Lowestoft will be open to the public and the remainder will close. All police stations will remain operational with local officers working from these bases and patrolling within communities. Police will still be available 24/7 via the intercoms provided outside all police stations.
A number of front counter staff are being redeployed throughout the organisation, meaning some front counters may on occasion work to reduced hours. Daily opening hours can be confirmed by ringing 101. Police can be contacted at any time in an emergency on 999 or on 101 for non-urgent matters.
From 4th April 2016, police stations can be visited in: Ipswich, Bury St Edmunds and Lowestoft. These front counters will be open Monday- Friday 9-5 and Saturday 10-6.
