I believe in law and order and that means police. If i were PM my policies would be…
- There should be 1 officer per 100 people in the UK population with the diversity trending towards the population they serve
- All officers regardless of rank should go out on patrol between 1 and 5 days per week. No more, no less. They need to see the real world and we need to not wear them out.
- All Police uniforms should be GPS tagged and this information used to identify gaps in patrols and remedy them.
- All Police uniforms should include audio/video cameras to be used as evidence. Content should be purged after 60 days unless used in a trial, content should be uploaded securely so even if the camera were stolen its content would still be available
- Each high street should have a front desk where an officer is always available 24/7. These Civic Help Shops might also include advisers or other government services.
- Once a year each officer should spend a week working in another part of the country.
