DEMAND FOR INCREASED POLICE NUMBERS SOUTH OF BORDER HIGHLIGHTS SNP DELIVERY.
SCOTLAND HAS WHAT IT TAKES FOR SAFER STREETS.
Commenting on today’s demand by the Police Federation of England & Wales for 2,000 extra police officers SNP MSP Angela Constance - a member of the Scottish Parliament’s Justice Committee – said the police's demands highlighted the tale of two governments between an SNP Government meeting the concerns of communities and a Labour government continuing to let the police down.
Commenting Ms Constance said:
“The tale of two governments shows the SNP meeting the concerns of communities and creating jobs in Scotland whilst Labour is failing south of the border. Not only is the SNP Government striving to achieve safer streets but it is also offering more jobs in policing.
"Since the SNP came in to Government we have seen a more visible police presence on the streets, deterring crime and reassuring our citizens.
"The SNP pledged to hire 1,000 additional police recruits – that’s 1,000 more than there would have been under Labour.
“Labour's failure is also an indication of how things could have been if Labour were still in Government in Scotland.
“Thankfully we have an SNP Government delivering an all-time record number of officers on our streets.
“This report from south of the border is an embarrassment to Labour and shows they do not have a leg to stand on when it comes to the issue of increasing a police presence on our streets.”
