These findings are scandalous - but with unsolved crime rates remaining sky-high, it is difficult to find them shocking. This crisis in confidence is a direct consequence of years of neglect and mismanagement from the previous Conservative government. They decimated frontline policing and left our communities to pay the price. People deserve to feel confident that if they do fall victim to crime, the police will turn up and properly investigate.
Unfortunately, what we are seeing is a situation where the scale of demand has far-outstripped the availability of resources. This is leading to a significant trust deficit, with people feeling that their needs are not being met, either in terms of timely response or proper investigations after a crime has occurred. It’s crucial to address these gaps to rebuild public faith in the police.
