• More local, visible & accessible policing

  • Ensure the police are there when you need them. Deliver effective response and follow up all reasonable lines of enquiry.

• Drive down anti-social behaviour & crime

  • More hotspot policing and monitoring known offenders to prevent crime, including in our rural areas.

• Beat knife crime and drug gangs and protect young people

  • Take drugs and weapons off our streets and help young people get out of gangs.

• Protect women and girls from violence and domestic abuse

  • Invest in safer streets and bring more perpetrators to justice.

• Ensure vulnerable people are protected

  • More Safe & Well visits, and Community Safety Officers to identify risks and help people stay safe.

For me, safe and secure communities are the bedrock on which we build prosperity and wellbeing for everyone.
