Ken: put more officers on streets rather than cutting numbers

Ken Livingstone said today; “It is shocking that Boris Johnson has cut 1,370 police officer posts in the last year while violent crimes whilst robbery, burglary and knife crime were rising. The Tory Mayor’s own policing documents show the overall number of police officers are set to fall even further by 2014.

“Londoners want to see the Mayor to use the new responsibilities to put more police officers on the streets to make our streets safer rather than cutting them.”
