MY PLAN: TOUGH ON CRIME FOR A SAFER HERTFORDSHIRE
Crime destroys people’s lives. Many victims never fully feel safe again. The prosperity, security and quality of life of communities is damaged.
As Hertfordshire's Police & Crime Commissioner, I will work every day for an effective police force that prevents and cuts crime, catches criminals and keeps you safe.
Conservative PCCs focus on your priorities:
- More Police – Hertfordshire now has more police officers than ever before, with over 300 more officers compared to 2019 levels.
- Safer Streets – Hertfordshire is the 5th safest county in England & Wales and has an award winning victim care and support service.
- Lower Tax – local residents pay one of the lowest police precepts in the country.
As your Police & Crime Commissioner, Jonathan will:
- Prevent crime – disrupt criminality and invest in ‘hotspot’ policing to tackle persistent offending.
- Tackle high impact crimes – focus on fraud and cybercrime, domestic abuse, county lines drugs gangs and violence against women and girls.
- Ensure responsive policing – protect neighbourhood policing in every district and work for a robust response to anti-social behaviour and neighbourhood crime. Ensure home burglary gets a police response and not just a crime number.
- Support victims – fund high quality victim support and focus on improving detection rates to ensure more victims see justice being done.
- Keep Herts safe – ensure our county continues to be a great place to live and work, with safe town centres, rural crime tackled and a safe road network, working with local Councils and public services to drive down demand for policing.
- Listening to you – work to ensure your voice is heard in local policing and the police are empowered to deliver on your priorities. Deliver value for money and sound financial management.
