MY PLAN —
1. MORE POLICE ON THE STREETS
The government are recruiting 20,000 more police officers — with 8,000 already recruited. As a Conservative Police and Crime Commissioner, I’ll be able to work with the Conservative government to get Wiltshire’s fair share of police. Helping to make our streets safer.
2. TACKLING DRUG GANGS
County lines gangs are bringing drugs into our area — and trapping young people in a life of crime. So I’ll work with the National County Lines Coordination Centre to stop gang activity in Wiltshire. Helping to protect young people from crime and drugs.
3. STOPPING RURAL AND AGRICULTURAL CRIME
Rural crime must never be ignored. So I’ll work with local police to invest in new technology for rural areas, like drones and CCTV. That way, police will have the tools they need to prevent rural crime and make all of Wiltshire safer.
4. ENDING ANTISOCIAL BEHAVIOUR
From speeding to drug abuse, antisocial behaviour hurts our communities. So I’ll work with local police to put resources where they’re needed most, like more patrols in hotspots. That way, we’ll be able to cut antisocial behaviour.
5. PREVENTING PET THEFT
Pet theft has risen during the pandemic. I’ll work with the government to crack down on criminals stealing pets. And I’ll work with local police to make sure perpetrators are caught.
6. INVESTING IN FRONTLINE STAFF
Bureaucracy can’t tackle crime — only frontline staff can. So I’ll make sure more of your money is spent on police officers, not backroom staff. And I’ll work with residents and community groups to make Wiltshire and Swindon an even safer place to live.
