Petition police lay visitors

More details

lay visitors who have no legal knowledge regularly visit police station custody suites to check that prisoners are well looked after, this is a needless layer of bureaucracy on top of statutory obligations already in place on custody staff to look after prisoners ; the visits causes extra work for already busy custody staff and serve no useful purpose. i request that that the ministry of justice scrap the lay visitor scheme and the money saved be put into victim help schemes.
