As a former frontline Police Officer I know what Greater Manchester residents need and want from the Police.
My Manifesto outlines how I will make the police more effective, efficient and responsive.
If I am elected I will put residents and victims first and make Criminals pay.
As a former copper of 30 years standing, I understand the pressures on the modern copper.
I know where there is waste in the system.
I want to cut red tape and increase the number and visibility of officers.
I want to improve response times.
I want to ensure overlooked groups are better represented in GMP.
My manifesto also includes:
• a groundbreaking Apprenticeship scheme.
• A Police station in every community.
• Public Safety Reps on some Bus routes to tackle Anti Social Behaviour.
• A Commissioner’s Annual Award to ten young people from across Greater Manchester who have done something to improve the image of young people.
• Regular surveys with residents to ensure priorities are right.
• Greater links between PCSOs and communities.
• A change in the law to allow the Commissioner to recover the costs of court cases from Criminals.
• A change in the law to block mobile phone signals in Prisons.
