Rejected petition The Policing Budget

More details

The submission of this petition is that whilst it might technically be possible to have more policemen on the beat after the intended cuts, such a state of affairs is untenable.

You can only get so many hours of duty out of a body of men before you exhaust them or convince them to seek alternative employment.

The police budget must be increased, not reduced, and more officers obtained to police our streets.

We, the public, will not accept the proposed police budget cuts.
