Election statement:
For the first time, you can decide how our county is policed. Yours is the most
important voice, and with me as your Police and Crime Commissioner, your voice
will be heard. Together we will replace outdated bureaucracy with a new and dynamic
democratic accountability. In other words, you will take control. Your experiences
and concerns will influence policing priorities, to help decide where money and
manpower can do most good. No-one knowsLincolnshire better than you.
Taxpayers’ money – your money – spent on anything that does not benefit the
public is wasted. There will be no decisions behind closed doors and – in my
case at least – absolutely no political agendas. Politics and policing don’t mix.
Your force will not be run like a local authority department. I am financing my
own campaign, so there are no outside influences. My loyalty is to the people
of Lincolnshire. I make no unrealistic, undeliverable promises. My priorities are
to protect and strengthen neighbourhood policing; increase officer numbers;
continue challenging Government cuts that unfairly penaliseLincolnshire; keep
police stations open; enhance support for victims of crime and witnesses, and
encourage more active and visible support from communities and volunteers.
As a television journalist for many years, I have first-hand experience of policing
in many parts of theUK. Working for the Police Authority for the past four years
has given me a privileged insight intoLincolnshire policing. This is essential .
Before you can start to improve something, you need a thorough knowledge of
how it works. Elect me as your Police and Crime Commissioner and we can
start to deliver those improvements from day one.
