Fighting Crime (Public Engagement)

Proceeding contribution from Angela Watkinson (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 6 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on Fighting Crime (Public Engagement).
The Minister is describing the crime profile in various areas, but there are enormous variations. Does he agree that borough commanders and chief constables know the crime profile of their own area better than anyone because they have local knowledge, and that they should have control over their personnel budgets in deciding on, for example, the proportion of police community support officers and fully trained constables who have more policing power?
