Rejected petition Scrap Police Cuts and Safeguard their Numbers

More details

In light of the riots and the pivotal role that our entire police force has played in defending our communities, and acknowledging that they are our first and only defense against further unrest, the government should scrap all currently planned police cuts.

All those who sign this petition state this clearly to the government: make the cuts somewhere else, and safeguard the number of police officers we have now.
