Petition Action

Enable our police force to be armed

Additional Information

In light of recent events where two police officers lost their lives for doing their job is it time for our police force to be able to protect us with the same level of force available as those who threaten our society?

If our police force routinely arrive in situations in which they are routinely placed at risk; how effectively can they uphold the law they are sworn to enforce?

It is time for us to take the advantage away from the aspects of society that terrorise our communities and take control of our destiny and empower our law enforcement agencies with the ability to protect society properly.

Police officers also have families and people who love them. How many times are we going to ask them to go unarmed into a gun fight?

Arm our police force.
