West Dorset’s MP Chris Loder championed the Conservative Party’s record on policing during Prime Minister’s Questions on Wednesday the 3rd May.
Mr Loder said: ‘The Conservative Police and Crime Commissioner in Dorset has delivered 174 new Police Officers; he’s quadrupled the Rural Crime Team; and has made Dorset the sixth safety county”
By comparison, recorded crime is 34% higher under areas with Labour Police and Crime Commissioners.
Responding to Mr Loder, the Prime Minister said: “Crime is lower in areas which have Conservative Police and Crime Commissioners, and I’m delighted that Dorset has been selected as one of the areas to pilot our new Immediate Justice Scheme”.
