What the petition asks

Be open 24 hours a day
Man all police station reception desks with constables and not allow civilians to work on police reception duty
Put more police constables on patrol
Have monthly community Q & A meetings with constables.
Be open 24 hours a day

Put more police constables on patrol

Restore police reception desks to the same level as 2007.
The constabulary are an essential part of society and are sworn to protect and serve the people under the law. With less and less police stations open for less hours, if at all and less and less constables on the beat. It follows that Police Constable integration into society is at an all time low. Recently I wanted to attend my local police station to see a Constable, but it is closed.
I needed to travel and have only been able to see a civilian who is not sworn to protect and serve me.
