Proceeding contribution from Baroness Smith of Malvern (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 19 July 2007. It occurred during Ministerial statement on Crime Reduction.


Crime Reduction

My hon. Friend is right to praise the work of Staffordshire police. We believe that neighbourhood policing teams need to be made available in every community, including in those that she mentioned, precisely because they can contribute to reducing crime, working in partnership with local people. There might be different challenges in areas such as Leek and others that she mentioned. Nevertheless, community safety and feeling safe in their homes are a crucial part of her constituents’ concerns, which the delivery of neighbourhood policing in every community will help to address.
