Rejected petition Prevent Elected Police Commissioners

More details

Elected Police Commissioners threaten the centauries old and necessary statute of the police force being unbiased. We petition the government to rethink plans to introduce elected police commissioners. I do not wish to live in a society whereby the level of protection I receive from the police is potentially discriminatory according to who I voted for.
