Committed, collaborative and inclusive

The culture at Norfolk and Suffolk Constabularies is committed, collaborative and inclusive, and strong values are very much at the heart of policing in both counties.

The national Competency and Values Framework (CVF) aims to support all policing professionals, now and into the future. It sets out the desired behaviours and values, which will provide a consistent foundation for a range of local and national processes. This framework will ensure that there are clear expectations of everyone working in policing which in turn will lead to standards being raised for the benefit and safety of the public.

The framework has six competencies that are clustered into three groups. Under each competency are three levels that show what behaviours will look like in practice. All of the competencies are underpinned by four values that should support everything we do as a police service.
