Neighboring services Norfolk, Cambridgeshire and Suffolk Constabulary are part of the collective strategic Police force for East Anglia.

As far as I'm aware there are no cross jurisdictional boarders in the UK. That's why for example you can get a ticket for speed in Glasgow if you live in London. When a Police chase crosses into a different county the home county are usually given the lead due to their superior local knowledge and pool or resources.
