Rejected petition Rethink cuts to police services

More details

We urge the Home Secretary to rethink the planned budget cuts to the police services. The recent rioting across English cities proves that we need police on the streets. The planned 20% cuts and reforms are the biggest the police services have seen for 180 years. This is jeopardising public safety and taking huge risks with law and order.
