I am a hardworking, self-employed army veteran, committed to serving the public. In Gwent, we need a firmer approach to tackling crime to retain confidence in our police force.
My priorities:
- 20mph speed limits I will take a pragmatic approach to enforcing this in areas where it is unnecessary. When budgets are stretched, we should not be wasting resources on policing ill-thought out policies.
- Rural crime Welsh farmers are facing extremely challenging times. I will increase funding to the Rural Crime Team and ensure crime is not one of the burdens they need face.
- Anti-social behaviour I will increase police patrols in known areas of anti-social behaviour – no one should feel intimidated in their own home.
- Cyber-crime I will order a review into rising cyber-crime and commission a Digital Dog – to sniff out electronic devices, providing critical evidence to prosecute criminals who hide in the cybersphere.
- Organised crime I will back additional anti-drugs operations in Gwent to disrupt county lines gangs and end exploitation of our young and vulnerable.
- Public confidence I will conduct a review into disciplinary procedures, taking a zero-tolerance approach to sexual misconduct and all forms of discrimination. If a police officer falls short of the high standards expected, they should be dealt with swiftly and robustly.
Crime in all forms destroys lives. I understand it is not always the headline-making crime that blights lives, I will tackle crime on all levels and be as accessible as I can, to ensure I support people from all communities to the best of my ability.
I have a background of service, I hope you will support me in becoming Police and Crime Commissioner for Gwent, to serve you and your interests.
