Election statement:
As your Labour Police and Crime Commissioner I promise to listen to your needs,
seek out the concerns of all and tackle them. I worked as a police officer for over
30 years, serving in Police Forces across the region including Durham and I’ve
seen first-hand how neighbourhood policing can improve communities.
People across County Durham and Darlington have told me how concerned they
are that officers are being withdrawn from their communities. I will resist the Tory
led Government cuts which have already cost 140 officers and 200 police staff.
Instead I will ensure that we maintain neighbourhood policing at current levels
and maintain a mix of police officers and PCSOs.
I will resist the drive for privatisation of your police service, ensuring that policing
remains for people and not for profit. I will seek to develop imaginative solutions
to ensure that public services continue to be delivered by public sector employees.
I will work tirelessly to protect all members of our community, but especially the weak
and the vulnerable. I will work with the victims and witnesses to crime so that we can
improve our service to them. I will tackle domestic violence which makes up one third
of all violent crime. I shall ensure that through me our communities have a voice.
I will address anti-social behaviour, and drug and alcohol related problems, and work
with the Police and partners to ensure a coordinated response in tackling and reducing crime.
County Durham and Darlington deserves a police service that protects our communities
and fights crime. If you elect me as your Labour Police & Crime Commissioner this is
exactly what you will get.
