UKIP Policies : Police Effectiveness and Structures

Posted by David Cameron Law on January 11, 2012 in 2010 UKIP Policies Debate

According to the UK Independence Party website UKIP will try to achieve the following if they gain power at the 2010 general election:

Police Effectiveness and Structures. UKIP would allow more democratic control over the police force, with directly elected Chief Constables and/or police boards.

UKIP would replace Police Community Support Officers (PCSOs) with fully trained policemen and women over time, and re-introduce ‘beat’ policing.

UKIP would scrap the most time wasting forms, and keep red tape to an absolute minimum.

Home Defence. UKIP would always support home owners who confront intruders.

I would be interested to hear both positive and negative views on UK Independence Party’s Police Effectiveness and Structures policies in the comments below?
