Police and Crime Commissioner candidate to visit Falmouth

One of the candidates to become the first Police and Crime Commissioner for Devon and Cornwall will be speaking at a public meeting in Falmouth tomorrow.

Independent candidate William Morris will be at the Laburnum Hall at 10.30am, speaking on ‘Crime and Policing in Cornwall’.

He wants to hear from people living in Falmouth and the surrounding area, ahead of the election on November 15.

He will also explain his targets for policing in Devon, Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly, which includes: antisocial behaviour and drug abuse, rural crime, rape and assault, child abuse, police on the beat and community payback.

Mr Morris said: “We have a police force to protect the public and maintain human dignity. We have a right to feel free from threats of robbery, violence, abuse and fear.

“Police are not here to fill forms and shuffle paperwork. They are here to keep our society free, our children safe, to protect life and property.”

This is utter madness! I don't vote for the dustbin men or my doctor or for school teachers. I expect them to be doing those jobs because they are good at what they do. If we let the boys in blue playing politics as they bang up bad types we'll end up like America with fat dodgy mayors in league with fat dodgy 'police chiefs' in league with fat dodgy local business men. In other words CORRUPTION. Keep politics out of policing. Remember the miners strike in the 80s and sit back and see the corruption and lying that will soon be uncovered because the police got to close to the government...
