Election statement:

I am the only candidate who is Independent from Political Parties and has a good 
working knowledge of the Police.  Party politics and policing don’t mix.  Dorset is a 
unique and special County and I am passionate to find “Dorset Solutions for 
Dorset People”.  I am an ex police officer who moved to Dorset on retirement. 
I led the Sarah Payne case, I advised on Soham. I understand the Police and I have 
no connection to this Force. I am a Trustee/Volunteer for five Dorset charities and sit 
as Laymember on my Local Safeguarding Children Board. I lecture at Bournemouth 
University and am an adviser to the charity Missing People. After six months campaigning, 
meeting thousands of Dorset people, I feel I know what you want.  That’s why I petitioned 
10 Downing Street recently, fighting for a fairer budget allocation for this Force. If elected, 
I pledge to tackle your issues – Domestic Violence, Anti-Social Behaviour, Binge Drinking, 
E Crime/Identity Theft, and a more approachable and accountable Police Force. 
Persistent offenders blight our lives, and need tackling through firm supervision. 
Community Engagement is a priority. I will create PCC Forums that you can sit on with me, 
telling me your issues, so I can help resolve them. We need more Special Constables, 
working in their community for the community. We need fewer victims and a quicker 
service. A Victims Bureau that gives you one person as a contact, wherever your 
case sits, be it with police, CPS or the Courts, keeping you informed. We need 
a Neighbourhood Watch in every community. I want to see the Voluntary Sector 
working as equals to the statutory bodies. And finally, I want to tackle deprived 
areas like Boscombe, tackling drug issues, making them safer.
