With less and less police stations open for less hours, if at all and less and less constables on the beat.  It follows that Police Constable integration into society is at an all time low.  Recently I wanted to attend my local police station to see a Constable, but it is closed. \r\nI needed to travel and have only been able to see a civilian who is not sworn to protect and serve me.","committee_note":"","state":"open","signature_count":43,"closing_date":"2027-01-09","created_at":"2026-04-10T12:31:40.969Z","updated_at":"2026-07-11T15:32:50.000Z","rejected_at":null,"opened_at":"2026-07-09T08:45:47.505Z","closed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-04-15T07:54:20.000Z","response_threshold_reached_at":null,"government_response_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"debate_scheduled_on":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"creator_name":"Douglas Sullivan","rejection":null,"government_response":null,"debate":null,"departments":[{"acronym":"MoJ","name":"Ministry of Justice","url":"https://www.gov.uk/government/organisations/ministry-of-justice"}],"topics":[],"signatures_by_country":[{"name":"United Kingdom","code":"GB","signature_count":42},{"name":"United States","code":"US","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_constituency":[{"name":"Brent West","ons_code":"E14001123","mp":"Barry Gardiner MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Bridgwater","ons_code":"E14001126","mp":"Sir Ashley Fox MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Bury St Edmunds and Stowmarket","ons_code":"E14001146","mp":"Dr Peter Prinsley MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Camborne and Redruth","ons_code":"E14001148","mp":"Perran Moon MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Chelsea and Fulham","ons_code":"E14001160","mp":"Ben Coleman MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Chester South and Eddisbury","ons_code":"E14001164","mp":"Aphra Brandreth MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Chippenham","ons_code":"E14001168","mp":"Sarah Gibson MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Chipping Barnet","ons_code":"E14001169","mp":"Dan Tomlinson MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Corby and East Northamptonshire","ons_code":"E14001179","mp":"Lee Barron MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Croydon West","ons_code":"E14001188","mp":"Sarah Jones MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"East Wiltshire","ons_code":"E14001217","mp":"Danny Kruger MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Ellesmere Port and Bromborough","ons_code":"E14001222","mp":"Justin Madders MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Fylde","ons_code":"E14001242","mp":"Mr Andrew Snowden MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Glastonbury and Somerton","ons_code":"E14001247","mp":"Sarah Dyke MP","signature_count":4},{"name":"Harwich and North Essex","ons_code":"E14001273","mp":"Sir Bernard Jenkin MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Hazel Grove","ons_code":"E14001277","mp":"Lisa Smart MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Ilford North","ons_code":"E14001300","mp":"Rt Hon Wes Streeting MP","signature_count":5},{"name":"Isle of Wight East","ons_code":"E14001303","mp":"Joe Robertson MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Kingston upon Hull West and Haltemprice","ons_code":"E14001315","mp":"Emma Hardy MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Luton South and South Bedfordshire","ons_code":"E14001346","mp":"Rachel Hopkins MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Mid Buckinghamshire","ons_code":"E14001360","mp":"Greg Smith MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Ribble Valley","ons_code":"E14001443","mp":"Maya Ellis MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Rochester and Strood","ons_code":"E14001447","mp":"Lauren Edwards MP","signature_count":2},{"name":"Salisbury","ons_code":"E14001460","mp":"Rt Hon John Glen MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Scunthorpe","ons_code":"E14001462","mp":"Sir Nicholas Dakin MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Southampton Itchen","ons_code":"E14001499","mp":"Darren Paffey MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Swindon South","ons_code":"E14001537","mp":"Rt Hon Heidi Alexander MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Taunton and Wellington","ons_code":"E14001540","mp":"Gideon Amos MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Dumfries and Galloway","ons_code":"S14000073","mp":"John Cooper MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Dundee Central","ons_code":"S14000075","mp":"Chris Law MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Glasgow North East","ons_code":"S14000086","mp":"Maureen Burke MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Alyn and Deeside","ons_code":"W07000082","mp":"Rt Hon Sir Mark Tami MP","signature_count":1},{"name":"Cardiff West","ons_code":"W07000092","mp":"Mr Alex Barros-Curtis MP","signature_count":1}],"signatures_by_region":[{"name":"North West","ons_code":"B","signature_count":5},{"name":"Yorkshire and The Humber","ons_code":"D","signature_count":2},{"name":"East Midlands","ons_code":"E","signature_count":1},{"name":"East of England","ons_code":"G","signature_count":3},{"name":"London","ons_code":"H","signature_count":9},{"name":"South East","ons_code":"J","signature_count":5},{"name":"South West","ons_code":"K","signature_count":12},{"name":"Wales","ons_code":"L","signature_count":2},{"name":"Scotland","ons_code":"M","signature_count":3}],"other_parliamentary_business":[]}}}
