Stephen William Bett

Election statement:

Stephen Bett – The Independent Voice

My Pledges:

Keeping Norfolk safe; keeping party politics out of policing; securing the 

financial future; and being firmly focused on what our community needs 

are what I will deliver.

PUTTING THE SAFETY OF INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES 

FIRST, I WILL

Keep Norfolk safe as one of the lowest crime counties in the country
Ensure that Police fight serious and organised crime and support 
vulnerable people, including our elderly and disabled.  Priority crimes 
include drug dealing, sexual offences, domestic violence, hate 
crime and anti-social behaviour.
Protect the frontline in the face of cuts

SECURING THE CONSTABULARY’S FINANCIAL FUTURE, I WILL

Protect local policing from privatisation – achieving the savings we need 
by collaborating with other police and public services, and with the 
voluntary sector. 
Ensure the Constabulary works smarter – using targeting and prevention 
to reduce demand, working with young people to stay clear of crime; and 
using restorative justice to achieve long-lasting solutions

MAKING BALANCED DECISIONS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF 

THE COMMUNITY, I WILL

Listen to communities and victims
Reach out to minority communities and the disengaged to ensure 
policing is fair and equitable
Be a strong, independent voice, robustly challenging the Chief 
Constable to deliver what the public need
Reject party politics and work with other Independents to provide 
a national voice.

Why Me?

I am the candidate with the most experience of Policing.   I have been on

the Police Authority for 16 years, the last six as Chairman. Under my 

chairmanship Norfolk has become one of safest counties in England. 

We have delivered large savings whilst increasing efficiency and 

satisfaction.
