Police and crime commissioners

Police and crime commissioners are elected by the public to ensure the policing needs of communities are met as effectively as possible and to oversee how crime is tackled in your police force area.

Bob Teesdale

Bob Teesdale. Conservative Candidate for Merseyside Police and Crime Commissioner

I served as a Bobby for 30 years retiring as Patrol Inspector, i.e., finishing as I started out – on the streets – working 3 shifts.

I am also a private citizen so I have lots of experience of the other side,  looking to the Police for my family’s and my own safety and wellbeing.

I believe the professionalism of the Merseyside Police is admired round the country but it comes at a price, a tendency to move away from a direct connection to the communities they serve.

So, I am putting, balancing the “re-connecting” with the people of Merseyside, with applying the Forces innate professionalism at the at the heart of my plans for the Force.

 Ensuring that the extra officers gained by the Force from the 20,000 being funded by this Government are spread evenly across the 5 Boroughs.

 Ensuring that community groups who work to benefit us all in so many ways are properly supported including victim Support.             

 Expanding and properly utilising the willingness of our community to help directly, by involving  and properly using the Special Constabulary.

 

My priority will always be to work to make Merseyside safer.
