End the single crewing policies in place in UK policing.

Closed 22 signatures

What the petition asks

With the proposed increase in police numbers, the government should legislate to end the frankly dangerous single crewing policies in place in some forces.
Police officers work tirelessly to fulfil their office to the best of their abilities, sacrificing many factors of normal life to protect the public and we deserve to be safe. We can do this more effectively if we are double crewed. The police are meeting more and more violence in their day to day work. Or struggling to fulfil their role to the best of their abilities due to being single crewed. Allow police to be the proactive protective resource the public deserve, by ending single crewing.
