Liberal Democrat — Chichester

Speaking in the House of Commons on 7 July 2025

Debate

Neighbourhood Policing

Contribution

Special constables play a vital role in visible community policing, but the number of specials dropped by over 700 between 2023 and 2024, and we lost one in four in the same period in my constituency of Chichester, which is represented by Sussex police. Will the Home Secretary consider practical incentives such as council tax relief or free local travel, like those that the Met police currently have, to support recruitment and retention of those specials?
