Independent
Force area:
Merseyside
Kiron Reid
Election statement:
I have the experience and expertise to supervise the police in Merseyside as they cut crime, help victims and prevent reoffending.
I am standing as an Independent candidate because the Commissioner’s post should not be party political. I’ve spent 20 years working and campaigning on police matters. As a Law Lecturer at Liverpool University I have an international reputation in the field of policing. I know from serving on Merseyside Police Authority that the current system is insufficiently effective in holding the police to account. I will shake things up.
When I served on the Police Authority it provided a balanced range of views. But with just one person doing the job – it shouldn’t be a party figure. It should be the best candidate. As a Liverpool Councillor (Anfield 1998–2007), never tied to the party line, I helped restore the image of the whole Liverpool City Region. As Commissioner I will be working for local people, not party bosses in London.
I will work with local communities, using the best methods, to:
- cut crime, targeting violent and hate offences
- prevent crime
- prevent young people becoming offenders or victims
- prevent reoffending
- help victims.
I will not be sitting in committees, like the politicians, but out meeting people right across the Region. Merseysiders are famed for their independence – if you have an independent mind, vote Independent.
You can read more about my policies and experience on my website. As Commissioner I will be a critical friend of the police. I will stick up for all the people of Merseyside, helping the police show criminals there is nowhere to hide.
On Merseyside, let’s put People first, not Party.
