My Plan for a Safer Essex

• More local, visible & accessible policing
  • Ensure the police are there when you need them. Deliver effective response and follow up all reasonable lines of enquiry.
• Drive down anti-social behaviour & crime
  • More hotspot policing and monitoring known offenders to prevent crime, including in our rural areas.
• Beat knife crime and drug gangs and protect young people
  • Take drugs and weapons off our streets and help young people get out of gangs.
• Protect women and girls from violence and domestic abuse
  • Invest in safer streets and bring more perpetrators to justice.
• Ensure vulnerable people are protected
  • More Safe & Well visits, and Community Safety Officers to identify risks and help people stay safe.
• Improve road safety and reduce road death in Essex to Zero
  • Tackle speeding and drink and drug driving. Better tech, better education, and better enforcement.
• Fire & Rescue Service Reform
  • Modernising the Fire & Rescue Service to reduce risk and keep more people safe.

For me, safe and secure communities are the bedrock on which we build prosperity and wellbeing for everyone.
