Rejected petition Arm Our Officers

More details

Two female Police Officers, PC Fiona Bone and PC Nicola Hughes, tragically lost their lives this morning (18 September 2012) whilst investigating a "routine" incident in Hattersley, Greater Manchester.

Both Officers were unarmed.

Police Officers across England and Wales put their lives at risk on a daily basis to protect us.

It is time we started to protect those who protect us.

Please arm all our Officers whilst they are on duty.
