Background and Vision

Sarah Taylor’s commitment to public service is driven by her upbringing in an Armed Forces family, which instilled a deep respect for uniformed services, including the police. “As a child of an Armed Forces family, I have a natural respect for the police.

Taylor’s professional experience in scrutinising government decisions and coordinating national road safety initiatives has prepared her to tackle Norfolk’s pressing issues with a strategic approach. Her campaign focuses on several key areas:

  • Restoring Trust: Engaging with the community to align policing priorities with the needs of Norfolk residents, ensuring that trust and confidence in the police are rebuilt.

  • Safer Streets: Adopting the “Vision Zero” strategy to significantly reduce traffic fatalities and serious injuries on Norfolk’s roads.

  • Violence Against Women and Girls: Addressing this critical issue head-on, especially in light of recent scandals that have undermined confidence in the police. Taylor is committed to restoring faith in the system and ensuring that crimes are reported and prosecuted effectively.

  • Rapid Response and Support: Improving response times and support for victims, especially in rural areas, to enhance the overall safety and experience of the community.

  • Combating Organized Crime: Tackling diverse threats such as County Lines, scams, and organized theft, while supporting victims to overcome the devastating impacts of these crimes.

A Commitment to Community

Taylor’s campaign is not just about addressing crime but also about proactive engagement with the community. “I will listen to you. I will make sure that your priorities are the police’s priorities,” she asserts. Her approach promises a dynamic shift in how policing is managed in Norfolk, focusing heavily on community involvement and evidence-based policy making.

Her commitment to enhancing safety, restoring trust, and engaging with the community positions her as a dedicated advocate ready to bring about significant improvements in Norfolk’s policing and public safety landscape.
