Cambridgeshire Constabulary



Ansar Ali, a member of the Police Authority, is standing as an independent candidate. "Strongly believes that the Police Commissioner must be independent and free from party politics."


Sir Graham Bright, former Luton South MP, is the Conservative candidate, replacing former RAF officer John Pye, who was initially selected as the Conservative candidate but later stood down. "I will make sure that the police focus on the individual needs of each community, whether road safety initiatives or tackling house burglaries, anti-social behaviour, attacks on business premises or rural crime such as farm thefts."



Paul Bullen, a magistrate, is the UKIP candidate. "Independent Police and Crime Commissioner is a big job. It needs vision, competence and common sense"



Stephen Goldspink, former Peterborough councillor, is standing for the English Democrats.
"Order the deployment of more officers on the front line (i.e. outside the police station) from April 2013 than were deployed in April 2012, and re-establish regular foot patrols in key areas"


Farooq Mohammed is standing as an independent candidate. " keep the public informed and involved, hold the police to account for their actions"



Rupert Moss-Eccardt, former Cambridge councillor, is standing for the Liberal Democrats. "“There will be no back-room deals with companies like G4S” said Mr Moss-Eccardt, a committed civil liberties campaigner who is determined to fight for a criminal justice system that works better for everyone"



Cllr Ed Murphy is the Labour candidate. "Policing should be without fear or favour, by consent and not for profit"
