Residents are invited to share their views on Suffolk Police's use of powers at a public scrutiny meeting at Suffolk One College on 27 November.

Why it matters: The meeting aims to hold Suffolk Police accountable for their use of powers, including force, taser, and stop and search, while addressing concerns about policing in minority communities.

The big picture: The Suffolk Police Powers Public Scrutiny meeting will run from 13:00 to 15:00 on 27 November. Discussions will focus on improving trust between police and local communities and examine police disproportionality affecting minority groups.

Residents will also be invited to share their experiences and raise community concerns.

How to attend: Those wishing to attend can contact the Ipswich and Suffolk Council for Racial Equality (ISCRE) or 01473 408 111 or office@iscre.org.uk.

The bottom line: The meeting provides an opportunity for community members to help shape local policing practices and improve police-community relations across Suffolk.
