Paddy Tipping, Police and Crime Commissioner, Nottinghamshire

The Labour Party Candidate

Force area:
Nottinghamshire

Paddy Tipping

Election statement:

Nottinghamshire needs a Labour Police & Crime Commissioner to stand 

up for our communities in the fight against crime and anti-social behaviour; 

not be a cheerleader for Conservative Government cuts to the police.

Paddy Tipping has lived and worked in the voluntary, public and private sector 

in Nottinghamshire for over forty years.  He’s well known in communities around 

Nottinghamshire, and his family live here too. That means that your concerns are 

his concerns and he’ll always speak up for you with a strong voice.

Paddy believes that residents need to feel safe and secure in their homes and 

streets.  We all want a better and safer environment for our children and families.

Paddy will:

Fight for extra resources for our Police who face a budget cut imposed by
the Conservative Government of £42 million or 20%.  Already nearly 300
Police Officers have lost their jobs. You can’t cut crime by cutting Police Officers.
Improve and enhance neighbourhood policing by recruiting an extra 150
Police Officers backed by 100 more PCSOs. We need a regular uniformed
presence on our streets.
Work with local Councils and others to cut anti-social behaviour by 50%.
He’ll clamp down on yobbish behaviour.
Make sure that the victims of crime are treated as people, not cases, and
properly fund Victim Support.
Give extra priority and resources to domestic violence and crimes against women.
Be fair and honest; protect Council taxpayers money and he won’t take a
pay rise if elected to office.

Paddy Tipping will be the People’s Commissioner.  He will be a strong and 

effective leader of Nottinghamshire Police, while always listening to you and the 

communities he is elected to serve.

Nottinghamshire Police, Police England and Wales Police and Crime Commissioner elections, 2012

Nottinghamshire Police


Tony Roberts, Newark and Sherwood District councillor, will now be the Conservative candidate after the former leader of Bassetlaw District Council, Mike Quigley, pulled out due to a "minor offence" committed in 1968. Tony has over 30 years experience in local government, the last nine as Leader of a District that anticipated the cuts in government funding and acted swiftly. The Council that Tony led maintained a tight control on its budget and froze its Council Tax for four years whilst continuing to provide effective services that people both wanted and needed. Tony has also worked as a volunteer counsellor for the Probation Service, been a trustee of a charity helping with emergency aid and currently is the Councillor responsible for “Community Safety” on Newark and Sherwood District Council.



Paddy Tipping, former Labour MP for Sherwood, is the Labour candidate. Nottinghamshire needs a Labour Police & Crime Commissioner to stand up for our communities in the fight against crime and anti-social behaviour; not be a cheerleader for Conservative Government cuts to the police.



Malcolm Spencer, a former detective who served with the police force for 30 years, is standing as an independent candidate. “I will commit myself to ensuring, as Police & Crime Commissioner, that I will listen to and act for all the people of Nottinghamshire to ensure that you can feel safe in your homes, on your streets and at work. I will aim to achieve this promise by ensuring a targeted policy to all aspects of crime and disorder, focusing resources on front line policing at a local level to serve the needs of the local communities. In this way I would also seek to improve the confidence, trust and respect between the police, its partners and more importantly the public whom it serves.”



Dr Raj Chandran, a retired GP, is standing as an independent candidate.  A former Police Surgeon, Ex-Mayor of Gedling, Territorial Army Major, and recently-retired GP, Raj is a Director of Brain-damage-care unit with >100 employees.
