Rejected petition Keep our Bobbies on the Beat! Stop cutting Police funding.

There had been 8,000 officers in Greater Manchester force as recently as 2010, but that could drop to 5,500 "if the present projected cuts go ahead". Police will struggle to keep our communities safe and would not be able to cope with another incident like the London Riots of 2011.
