BROADS BEAT • Now in their 25th anniversary year – a team of Royal Yachting Association-trained police officers and support staff who patrol the Broads throughout the year, preventing and detecting crime, reducing anti-social behaviour and disorder, assisting boaters and ensuring the safety of all on land or water
• Officers work with the other emergency services and partnership agencies, including the Broads Authority, RNLI, Border Force, Inshore Fisheries and Conservation Authority and Environment Agency
• Broads Beat is supported by many businesses and is the UK’s longest running police and public sponsorship scheme
• Call them on 101 for non-emergencies, or email
broadsbeat@norfolk.pnn.police.uk
• Follow their daily activities via Twitter @BroadsBeat Waste disposal
• Recycling and other waste disposal facilities are often available near moorings or in towns and villages
• Be careful with waste – don’t leave bags at the back of boats where they could easily fall into the water
• Dispose of waste at proper sites – don't leave bags at sides of moorings or adjacent roads and don't overload bins or leave bags by bins if bins are full
• If necessary, hang on to waste till you reach the next site
• Discarded litter and fishing tackle can entangle and kill wildlife
