Proceeding contribution from Baroness Kramer (Liberal Democrat) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 3 May 2007. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Policing in London.


Policing in London

If I have understood the hon. Gentleman correctly, I am concerned. Some of the most effective CSOs in Richmond and Kingston are people who have come towards the end of their career, perhaps in business, and decided that they want to give something back to the community. They are superb officers because they have experience, knowledge and the ability to connect. They are not looking to become policemen. I would be terrified to lose them, because they are the backbone of most effective teams.
