Leicestershire Constabulary, Police England and Wales Police and Crime Commissioner elections, 2012
Leicestershire Constabulary
Air Chief Marshal Sir Clive Loader, a parish councillor who was until 2009 the Commander-in-Chief of the RAF Air Command, is the Conservative candidate. “I strongly believe that people should have their voice heard about how well their Police Force is performing. Crime rates are unacceptably high. I am determined to help make our streets safer and much more family friendly.”
Cllr Sarah Russell, a deputy mayor of Leicester City Council and chair of the Safer Leicester Partnership which coordinates the police, Probation Service, NHS and city council is the Labour candidate. I’m proud of my track record of working with the police and other partners to deliver real improvements for local communities to make them feel safer and reduce crime.
Suleman Nagdi, a community worker and businessman, is standing as an independent.
The election of Police and Crime Commissioners in England and Wales is crucial. Our judiciary and the Police have always remained independent and must continue to do so. We must not allow party political candidates to succeed and compromise our independent Police with their party political agendas; this is why I am standing as an INDEPENDENT. My vision is for a progressive force that is agile, committed, and effective in delivering policing for those in most need.
