“Just 12 police officers in Hartlepool is not sufficient” – Jody Dunn September 20, 2004
Posted by in : News , trackbackJody Dunn has today called for more police on the beat to make Hartlepool a safer place:
“Local people will be shocked to learn that there are as few as 12 police officers on duty of a weekend for the whole town. It therefore comes as no surprise that so many people say that they have not seen a police officer for over six months.
“Also, the New Deal for Communities has purchased entire streets of the town, boarded them up and left them to rot.
“The safety of local people is being put at risk.
“With so few police on the streets in the entire town it is no surprise that people feel unsafe on the housing estates where there are often no police at all.
“Women in particular that I have spoken to feel unsafe. It is now urgent that the political leadership is provided in Hartlepool to address these serious and substantial concerns.
“If elected as your MP, policing in Hartlepool will be at the top of my agenda – more police, greater personal security, making people feel safer.”
