Election statement:
Stephen Bett – The Independent Voice
My Pledges:
Keeping Norfolk safe; keeping party politics out of policing; securing the
financial future; and being firmly focused on what our community needs
are what I will deliver.
PUTTING THE SAFETY OF INDIVIDUALS AND COMMUNITIES
FIRST, I WILL
Keep Norfolk safe as one of the lowest crime counties in the countryEnsure that Police fight serious and organised crime and support
vulnerable people, including our elderly and disabled. Priority crimes
include drug dealing, sexual offences, domestic violence, hate
crime and anti-social behaviour.
Protect the frontline in the face of cuts
SECURING THE CONSTABULARY’S FINANCIAL FUTURE, I WILL
Protect local policing from privatisation – achieving the savings we need by collaborating with other police and public services, and with the
voluntary sector.
Ensure the Constabulary works smarter – using targeting and prevention
to reduce demand, working with young people to stay clear of crime; and
using restorative justice to achieve long-lasting solutions
MAKING BALANCED DECISIONS IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF
THE COMMUNITY, I WILL
Listen to communities and victimsReach out to minority communities and the disengaged to ensure
policing is fair and equitable
Be a strong, independent voice, robustly challenging the Chief
Constable to deliver what the public need
Reject party politics and work with other Independents to provide
a national voice.
Why Me?
I am the candidate with the most experience of Policing. I have been on
the Police Authority for 16 years, the last six as Chairman. Under my
chairmanship Norfolk has become one of safest counties in England.
We have delivered large savings whilst increasing efficiency and
satisfaction.
