Increase the number of police patrolling the streets after dark.
Please increase the numbers of police on patrol - it is crucial for the vulnerable people in society. Do this by using some of the funding which is currently being over-allocated to disband groups of people breaching covid regulations.
Across every town and city in the UK, there are insufficient levels of policing, making some groups of society vulnerable to sexual assault, violent attacks, hate crimes etc. At a time where people are not allowed to travel in groups, this is more harrowing. An increase in levels of policing is wholly necessary, as evidenced by the rise in hate crimes and sexual attacks.
You can't sign this petition because it was rejected. But you can still comment on it here at Repetition.me!
The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
We can't accept your petition because the UK Government and Parliament aren't responsible for the issue you raise. This is an operational decision for police forces.
You could start a new petition calling for the Government to fund an increase in police numbers in England, if that's what you'd like to see happen.
