MY EXPERIENCE
Having served as Sussex Police & Crime Commissioner since 2012, I have the experience and proven track record to continue making a difference to policing our county.

As your PCC, I have robustly held the police to account on behalf of residents, successfully supported victims of crime and invested heavily in frontline policing.

SOME ACHIEVEMENTS SO FAR

• Driven the biggest rise in police officer numbers in a decade – 21% more serious crimes solved
• Restored neighbourhood policing, recruited PCSOs – total neighbourhood crime down 23%
• Sussex Police top nationally for answering 999 and 101 calls
• Tackled shoplifting by establishing dedicated Business Crime Unit – solved rates up to 69.9%
• Delivered on rural crime concerns by expanding the Rural Crime Team
• Directed £millions to support victims of crime, divert young people from harm and help communities protect themselves

MY PLAN TO CUT CRIME – MORE POLICE, SAFER STREETS

• Continue cutting crime, catching criminals, fighting drugs gangs, county lines and serious violence and reducing reoffending – making everyone Safer in Sussex
• Keep policing visible, tackle antisocial behaviour and increase Hotspot Patrols
• More investment in Roads Policing – establish ‘Fatal Five Unit’ to tackle antisocial driving, speeding and save lives
• Make shops and businesses safer places to work by tagging prolific shoplifters
• Give our Rural Crime Team more tech capability
• Support victims of crime, especially our elderly and young, and protect our vulnerable from all forms of abuse

This election matters.

The PCC is responsible for setting the £395 million budget, has powers to appoint and dismiss the Chief Constable and must ensure residents’ views are represented when setting policing priorities.

We’ve made real progress to deliver – let’s not put that work at risk now.
