New Liberal Democrat plans for policing across the UK, will lead to an extra 63 officers for South Wales Police, as part of an expansion of 3000 extra officers across the UK, the Cardiff Central Liberal Democrat, Jenny Willott has said.
Commenting on the initiative, Jenny said
“The only proven way to tackle crime and the fear of crime is by putting more bobbies on the beat.
“But police force numbers in Wales have fallen over the last five years. Under Labour and Tory plans, they are likely to fall even further.
“With the new police officers the Liberal Democrats are pledging, South Wales Police will be able to catch 1,600 extra criminals and solve over 1,500 more crimes every year.”
“Labour and the Tories talk tough on crime, but it is only the Lib Dems who will put more police on the ground, tackling crime and the misery it causes.”
