More Police

More Police are out and about on Essex Streets, keeping us safe and tackling crime.   Over the past six years, over 900 more police officers have joined Essex Police and serious crime rates have dropped.

Working with our Police Commissioner, Roger Hirst, I helped secure £550,000 of funding from the Government's Safer Street fund to improve safety in the Bunny Walks area and other vital projects.
