Police Direct is a high tech messaging service provided by Suffolk Constabulary, which is designed to bring you up to date information about crime and policing issues in your area.

We can send you information by email to your computer, by text to your mobile phone, or by leaving a message on your landline.

The service will give you a range of information relating to policing, which includes the following:

• Latest information on local crime

• Warnings about bogus callers

• Crime reduction advice

• Updates from your Safer Neighbourhood Team

It’s free to join Police Direct and you choose how you want to receive the alerts, via email, text or phone or any combination of these.

You can register up to three postcodes in total. This could be any of the following:

• Your home address

• Your work address

• The address of a relative

• A Marina

• A Stable Yard

If you are already registered for the service you can also use the link above to amend your details or to deregister from the service.
