Delivering Safer Streets has always been a top priority. I have campaigned for more police since becoming an MP.

Tackling crime and keeping Chelmsford’s people safe is a top priority. By May 2022, over 720 additional police officers have been recruited in Essex since 2017 with more on the way. 

With recent investments in technology and improved efficiency,  Essex Police is as strong as it has ever been.  

Crime is now down by 6.3% county wide in the last year and by 5.3% in Chelmsford.  Essex Police have seen a reduction in recorded crime over the last year, with over 9,000 fewer offences recorded and, importantly, fewer victims of crime between September 2019 and September 2020, compared to the year before.   Even before COVID they were seeing significant reductions in burglary, theft and anti-social behaviour.

With a heavy investment in local, accessible and visible policing,  anti-social behaviour has reduced, helping protect vulnerable children and adults from harm and reduced serious harm on our roads working with the Safer Essex Roads Partnership.

The Police are tackling gangs and organised crime as well as helping to break the cycle of domestic abuse.

Monday 31st January  I am still not feeling great as I return to Westminster this week. The mystery tummy bug that I picked up in Africa has now been diagnosed as not just one but three different bugs. Antibiotics have kicked in but have also brought their own side effects.
