David Allen
I am the only candidate with 30+ years’ experience in policing and law enforcement. My priorities are to save and improve our local Police and Fire Service, putting police back on the beat, re-engaging with the public they serve, making sure that they have the resources to protect our communities and tackle the issues that matter to you.
For 30 years I served in the Police, starting as a Constable in Carlisle and serving in different ranks throughout Cumbria before joining the National Crime Agency and running the Interpol Bureau, tackling serious and organised crime affecting the UK. For the last 8 years I have worked in our local NHS where I set up Cumbria’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic.
My career is one of public service. I have tackled crime and disorder, held Police Officers to account when working in anti-corruption and have represented the UK in International settings.
If elected on May 2nd I will:
- Tackle Anti-Social Behaviour – Returning named officers to every community in Cumbria.
- Fight Rural Crime – Working with rural communities to identify and tackle criminals.
- Ensure our Fire Service is fully funded – Resourced and fit for purpose.
- Carry out vital community work – Funding vital community projects in Cumbria.
- Tackle and reduce domestic abuse – Improving the criminal justice system to deliver help and justice swiftly.
As your Police, Fire and Crime Commissioner I will stop the £16 million worth of cuts that are planned to take place to Cumbria Constabulary by 2029. Communities in Cumbria deserve to feel safe and want to see visible policing back on the street.
If you lend me your vote on May 2nd, I will ensure that happens.
