when dogs are seized by police the officers are very lack with information they share normally you only get updated when something happens. this is wrong owners should be able to see picture updates of their dogs and their wellbeing e.g if their eating well
the government should enforce a rule that the kennel either gives you a unique code for a website that you can put in and see if your dog is eating or if they have any issues a bit like a diary for them or they should send it in a no reply text. this way the owner bothers the police less for updates and they have piece of mind for their loved ones

We want the Traffic Management Act of 2004 repealed so that enforcement of traffic becomes the polices' responsibility.
We believe local authorities raise huge revenues by enforcing their traffic management schemes using Civil Enforcement Officers. We think it would be better if traffic law was enforced by trained Special Constables who had wider training and responsibilities then just enforcing traffic rules, including keeping traffic moving, first-aid, tackling anti-social behaviour and public service. They should be employed by the countries police force.

Create a register where police officers and politicians are recorded when they have been charged with a sex offence or rape.
There is currently no register recording the numbers of police officers that have been found guilty of sexual offences on members of the public. This information is in the public interest.
Without this data being monitored it provides no way for the Police, the Home Office or the public to see the scale of the problem and work towards addressing the severity of the issue.
The police should be held to a high standard and this would help make that more fair and possible.

We want parliament to change the law so that if a police or service dog dies as a result of a criminal or reckless behaviour, the offender(s) can be charged and sentenced as if a police officer had died under similar circumstances.
We believe the loss of a service dog should not be treated as mere damage to property or an animal welfare matter.
We believe the law should recognise the service and sacrifice of police dogs and ensure their deaths in line of duty - whether by deliberate violence or reckless harm - carry meaningful consequences.

Research shows almost 1 in 5 officers are estimated to have PTSD. The condition increases suicide risk and, if untreated, can cause impaired judgment, posing a safety risk to officers and the public. We want mandatory support & trauma training.
We ask the Government to make it a legal requirement for police forces to provide preventative and ongoing PTSD support. We think officers face repeated trauma and are at far higher risk of PTSD than civilians or military personnel. Current schemes are not mandatory or consistently effective. We think legislation should enforce early intervention, mental health assessments, trauma training, wellbeing debriefs, and national tracking of suicide data. We think legislation is the only way to hold forces accountable.

Work with the FA and Premier League to require that players under police investigation for serious offences like rape or assault are suspended temporarily, and to create a national safeguarding code of conduct for all professional football clubs.
Footballers under investigation for serious crimes can still play, earn full pay, and appear for their clubs — with no transparency or interim action. This would be unacceptable in education, healthcare, or law enforcement. Football must follow similar safeguarding standards. This is not about presuming guilt, but about protecting women, maintaining public trust, and ensuring football reflects the values we expect in every other part of public life.

We ask the Government to launch a review into policing and consider reforms to training, leadership, resourcing, and culture—ensuring police are fit for modern challenges while better supporting frontline officers and restoring public trust.
We believe that morale and confidence in leadership is low, and that many officers feel overstretched, under-supported, and caught in outdated systems. We think public trust in policing has fallen due to misconduct cases, and what many see as poor leadership and lack of accountability. Reforms must protect good officers, modernise training, and ensure communities feel safe and heard.
Police officers need to know they can rely on their government and their senior police officer leadership to back them.

Require the establishment of a voting system within Police Constabularies that allows police officers and police staff to vote on who their next Chief Constable will be.
We believe that establishing a democratic system for electing people to the role of chief constable will help ensure chief constables and senior management within policing are held to account not only by the public but by the officers and staff who work for them. The aim of this proposal is to help reduce any divide between senior management and police officers and to help create a senior management team that police officers and staff alike can trust while they conduct their duties.

Review how domestic abuse survivors are treated when there are retaliatory reports to the police. Ensure dual investigation of abuse and counter-claims, and consider making false reports used to silence or intimidate domestic abuse victims, a specific criminal offence.
Survivors of abuse can be retraumatised when their abusers or associates make retaliatory police reports. This can silence victims, delay justice, and result in them being treated as suspects — while the abuse they originally reported might be ignored. The system must protect, not punish, those seeking safety. We believe that many survivors lose faith in the justice system due to this. The law should ensure fair treatment and that abusers cannot use the system to control/silence victims.

After a lifetime of dedicated service, many police dogs retire with injuries or chronic health conditions. We therefore call upon the Government to provide support for these heroic canines in retirement by establishing a centrally funded scheme for retired police dogs.
Despite their dedicated service, retired police dogs currently receive no direct government support for their care in retirement. The financial burden falls on handlers or adopters, which we think is inequitable. We think that implementing a government-funded scheme would ensure they obtain the necessary veterinary care and support, and are duly recognised and rewarded for their lifetime of service.

Reduce the retirement age of Prison Officers from 68 to 60, in line with Police & Fire Officers.
Reasons:
Mental & Physical Demands
Health Impacts
Disparity with Police & Firefighters
Safety Concerns
Retention & Recruitment
Mental & Physical Demands: Daily violence, stress & physical interventions, making working until 68 unrealistic.
Health Impacts: One of the most stressful jobs with most not reaching retirement age, or going off unwell.
Disparity with Police, Army & Firefighters: Other services retire at 60.
Safety Concerns: Older officers may struggle to restrain younger fit prisoners, causing safety issues.
Retention & Recruitment: This retirement age deters recruits & increases attrition.

Amend the Freedom of Information Act to prevent the police withholding bodycam footage from closed cases. We think this would improve transparency, accountability, and public trust in policing, provided GDPR and legal protections are respected.
We ask for police bodycam footage from closed cases to be subject to FOI requests, while maintaining compliance with GDPR. Bodycams and video storage are publicly funded so we think they should be subject to public scrutiny. In the US, similar footage is sometimes released, and can promote trust. If cases are closed and GDPR is complied with, we think there is no valid reason to withhold footage. It could help ensure transparency, accountability, and responsible use of public resources.

I want a newly designed knife bank outside every police station. I think it should be designed to accommodate the large machete type zombie blades that is on our streets, not the small post box type knife bank that you find outside some police stations
People are clearly using knife banks already but they are out dated and not enough of them available to the public. Knife crime is a serious issue, so I think a knife bank outside a police station should be standard practice. I think the few knife banks available are a hazard and allow those knives to be easily accessible.

At the moment, it is not a legal requirement to call the police when you hit a cat accidentally with your car.

We believe that in some cases, filming the police at close range may actually inflame a situation, which could cause a further danger to police dealing with sometimes violent offenders.
We think establishing a 15ft filming exclusion zone could enable safe resolution of a police incident without impeding the right to film in public places.
We believe this is needed to protect those who protect the majority, thereby allowing both the incident to be managed unhindered and those worried about accountability to view and film from outside that zone.

We want the Government to review current practices for how police deal with complaints. For example, consider potentially allowing members of public with sufficient knowledge of the law to review police complaints instead. This could provide transparency and reduce the likelihood of corruption.
We feel that public complaints require more transparency. We believe that police forces should not be able to investigate themselves as this could promote bias. We believe that police do not hold themselves to the same criminal standard as they do with members of public. For example, we believe that officers that use excessive force don’t get referred to the CPS when they should be. We think there are too many cases where complaints are not getting upheld when they should be.

Minority groups in the UK usually end up not reporting xenophobic verbal harassment or hate crime due to it being seen as not serious enough to warrant a report, and so i am calling upon the British government to create a hotline or website dedicated to reporting these crimes.
As i said previously many minority groups are repeatedly heckled in public spaces and feel as though there is nowhere to turn as the crime is so brief that many feel it is completely unimportant and many PO's see it as a waste of there time, a dedicated public site or hotline for this would make may Brits feel much more comfortable within themselves as well as helping the government and public grasp how serious the discrimination these groups face is and how far spread it is.

Police bodycams are vital for transparency, but officers can stop recording, undermining trust. We call on the government to make it law that bodycams must record continuously while on duty, with no option to pause or stop. This ensures all interactions are documented and guarantees accountability
Allowing police to stop bodycams raises concerns about accountability. Continuous recording ensures transparency, provides an unedited record of all interactions, reduces disputes, and prevents selective footage use. This law would protect both officers and civilians by ensuring reliable, accessible evidence is always available for review. It would also foster greater public confidence in law enforcement practices and help resolve conflicts that might otherwise be left without clear evidence
