Tory Police Cuts

The Conservatives have said that they will increase police numbers. And to be fair, they have started to do so locally.  But they have cut them in the first place.

While many of the cuts had occurred in the years of the ConDem coalition they had been continued once the Tories were in power without the Liberal Democrat’s.  In fact when my MP, Will Quince, posted about increased police numbers in Colchester, I had to ask him if he had voted for earlier cuts.  And despite always being polite when doing so, he blocked me.

So, the when it comes to police numbers, I do trust them to increase the numbers.  But I do not expect that the increase will be just full time police officers, but will include Special Constables and PCSO’s.
