LAW & ORDER
TOWARDS A SAFER SOCIETY
The focus of today's Liberal Democrat campaign is Law & Order
MORE POLICE - LESS CRIME
Charles Kennedy’s Liberal Democrats are calling for an extra 10,000 bobbies on the beat across the UK to fight crime.
The key policies include:
● Scrapping the Government’s proposals for compulsory ID cards and spending the money on recruiting 10,000 more Police Officers and 20,000 more Community Support Officers
● A massive investment in technology to help officers spend more time out on the street
● A National Border Force
● A National Police Agency to fight national & international crime

Ø It is no good protesting that “prison works” when it so often does not and we have such high rates of re-offending when prisoners are released. Liberal Democrats have been prepared to take the really tough decisions and talk about what measures are effective, not what might seem most immediately popular with the understandably concerned public!
Ø Whilst Labour and the Tories try to outbid each other in trying to sound “tough”, the Liberal Democrats have a vital role to play in standing up for our rights and freedoms and protecting our civil liberties
