The Tories Are Putting The Safety of Our Communities at Risk

The Tory-led Government’s 20 per cent cuts to policing mean at least 15,000 officers will be lost by 2015 and despite promises that their cuts would not impact on the frontline there are already 6,800 fewer frontline officers.

The Tories are putting the safety of our communities at risk. They are making it harder for police to use DNA evidence to prevent and solve crime. They are weakening action against anti-social behaviour and making it more difficult for communities to install the CCTV which helps keep them safe.

David Cameron’s Tories cannot be the answer to the challenge of keeping all our communities safe. Labour will protect communities and fight crime.
