Closed petition Fund increased police numbers in England and Wales

Closed on 16 May 2022

There should be more Police Beat Officers and Police Community Support Officers in all areas across the UK. At the moment there are too few police. They are a valuable resource in dealing with crime and anti-social behaviour. They are a deterrent and help to make the public feel more at ease.

At the moment anti-social behaviour appears to be more visible than ever, with some people seeming to think they can do whatever they want and get away with it. They do and they are. Many are scared to come out of their homes because they get chased by gangs, some of whom carry knives and are involved in the illegal drug trade. It is unacceptable that there is fighting in broad daylight going on in town centres, muggings and stealing. The Government must take action now.
