Employment Rights BillContribution
The riots last summer demonstrated the benefit of having a flexible police force. Given the Government’s focus on promoting neighbourhood and community policing, increasing the number of specials seems like a good choice. This measure will not cost the taxpayer a penny—it simply puts special constables on the same footing as other volunteers.
