Why was this petition rejected?

It’s about something that the UK Government or Parliament is not directly responsible for.

We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This is the responsibility of local Police and Crime Commissioners, Combined Authorities or, in London, the Deputy Mayor for Policing and Crime.
