Statement to voters

I’m Clive Grunshaw, and under my watch as Lancashire PCC from 2012 to 2021, I had to deal with Conservative Government cuts of over 25% to our budget.

Full statement

We lost over 800 police officers whilst Rishi Sunak proudly proclaimed how he’d changed Labour’s funding formulas to take money away from areas such as Lancashire and give it to places like Royal Tunbridge Wells!

More recently, whilst police officer numbers are returning, we are not seeing more police, but fewer. Police officers are being placed in desk jobs, answering phones and doing paperwork, while the number of police staff is being cut.

Lancashire Constabulary had a proud reputation and my management ensured that we were rated, by government inspectors, as outstanding for our use of resources – not any longer.

Working with an incoming Labour Government committed to neighbourhood policing and fair funding, I will put bobbies back on our streets, not sat behind desks. I will deliver on:

Domestic abuse – tackling violence against women and girls. Visibility – rebuilding the connection between the public and the police, tackling anti-social behaviour and targeting drug gangs. Prevention – working with partners to reduce youth offending and steer young people away from the criminal justice system. Value for money – removing waste, improving productivity and using every penny effectively. Improving our service to the public – from crime prevention to local policing, from call handling to response times, and from investigations to regular updates. Elect me as your PCC and I will restore leadership and competence. I will ensure you get the service that you want, to the standards that you expect… and more bobbies back on our streets!

Together – Let’s Get Lancashire Policing Back!
