Suffolk police’s messaging service that offers local people policing news for their area - is changing, bringing residents even closer to the officers who serve them.

Suffolk police is to start using a new free community messaging system called Suffolk Connected.

This is a free messaging service that will allow anyone to sign up to receive updates and information about issues affecting local communities.

It will replace their current messaging service called Police Connect. People who are registered with the current Police Connect system will need to register with the new Suffolk Connected service to receive messages. If people don’t register, they will not receive them.

To register with Suffolk Connected people will need to sign up online.  A link to Suffolk Connected will be available via this link suffolkconnected.org.uk
