Three people are contesting the Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland police and crime commissioner election. Here is what Sir Clive Loader (Cons) has to say.
Sir Clive Loader (Cons)
I am a former Air Chief Marshal and Commander-in-Chief in the RAF where I commanded more than 31,500 RAF personnel and ran a budget of more than £2.6bn.
My wife Alison and I have had a home in Rutland for more than 20 years.
I strongly believe people should have their voice heard about how well their police force is performing. Crime rates are still unacceptably high and I am determined to help make our streets safer and much more family friendly; we will need to be as lean and efficient as possible in doing so.
My five key election pledges are to:
l Listen to, and act on behalf of, all residents of Leicester, Leicestershire and Rutland.
l Set agreed priorities and targets with the chief constable, according to the expectations and concerns of all the people, and do all I can to help him and the police force to deliver them.
l Be prepared to use all means, including innovative solutions, to reduce crime and create efficiencies.
l Create an improved structure of support to the victims of crime, including visits and feedback on the detection of their crime and the punishment awarded.
l Do everything possible to protect the most vulnerable in our society, including working across agencies in order to address the difficulties created by difficult families.
Please ask yourself which candidate has the credibility and experience to: hold the chief of police to account; drive the necessary efficiencies through that will allow the maximum numbers of uniformed police on the beat; and, lastly, listen to each and every voice so that all views are reflected in our policing plan.
