​​

• Independent Review: Trust the GB People’s Party would provide an unbiased, thorough examination of the entire policing system. Implement rigorous background checks and vetting processes to ensure only candidates with the highest integrity are accepted. ​

​​

• Public Trust: An independent review is necessary to increase public confidence in the police, addressing long overdue issues. This will lead to greater transparency, accountability, and ultimately, a stronger relationship between the police and the communities they serve.

​​​

• Long-term Solutions: It will identify long-term, sustainable reforms rather than short-term fixes, ensuring that the police force can adapt to future challenges and maintain effective law enforcement over time. 

​​​

• Modern Challenges: Britain must stay ahead of emerging threats. Address issues like cybercrime, terrorism, and fraud, by developing specialised units, investing in advanced technology, and implementing proactive strategies. ​​

​​​​

• Prioritise Crime Prevention: Preventing crime over political agendas to ensure that community safety is at the forefront of all policing efforts, and decisions are made based on effectiveness rather than political influence.

​​​

• Enhance Discipline: Maintaining high standards of behaviour and discipline among police officers with clear accountability mechanisms for misconduct, continuous professional development opportunities, and promoting leaders who exemplify integrity and discipline.

​​​

• Fitness and Standards: It’s imperative to set high fitness and quality standards for officers, ensuring they are physically prepared to handle the demands of the job and maintain a professional appearance. This includes rigorous physical training, regular assessments, and strict adherence to ethical and professional conduct. These measures will enhance the effectiveness and reliability of the police force.

​​​

• Entrance Exam: Replace degree requirements with a practical entrance exam, while ensuring that candidates possess the necessary skills and aptitudes for effective policing. This approach focuses on practical abilities rather than academic qualifications.

​​​

• Probationary Period: Implement a 2-year probationary period for new officers, allowing thorough evaluation of their performance, conduct, and suitability for the role. This period will ensure that only those who meet the high standards required for effective policing are permanently retained.

​​

• Stricter Entry Requirements: Ensure only well-qualified candidates enter the force, by implementing rigorous background checks, extensive vetting processes, and high standards for physical fitness and ethical conduct. This will help build a trustworthy and capable police force dedicated to serving the community effectively and fairly.
