Police and crime commissioners

Police and crime commissioners are elected by the public to ensure the policing needs of communities are met as effectively as possible and to oversee how crime is tackled in your police force area.

Matthew Richard Scott

I am standing for Police and Crime Commissioner to cut crime, support victims and build trust. I have a strong track record of delivering for Kent.

Police numbers have increased and we now have more Officers than ever. As a result, crime has been falling. Burglary is down by over 40%. The number of county line drug gangs has been reduced substantially.

I will use the extra Officers I have recruited to bolster neighbourhood policing, make our streets safer and bring more criminals to justice. This will include:

Neighbourhood Policing Pledge: every ward will have a named Beat Police Officer, listening to you and dealing with problems that you want fixed.

Making women and girls safer: there will be a relentless focus on tackling perpetrators and bringing them to justice.

Hotspot patrols: investing in higher visibility to stop antisocial behaviour and drugs in every District.

Rural Safer Streets Programme: funding to make our villages and rural businesses safer.

Immediate Justice: making those who commit antisocial behaviour payback to our neighbourhoods.

More prevention: teams dedicated to preventing crime and making retailers safer.

Better technology: using new software to improve contact between victims and the Officer in charge of their case and communication with the public.

In the last eight years, I have worked with Kent Police and the Government to secure millions of pounds of extra support for policing, victims services and community safety in Kent.

The choice at this election is clear. I hope you will vote for my positive vision, that will make Kent safer for everybody.
