To convince people of the need for change, we must abandon the divisive identity politics of the generation war. We need a new social contract: one that prioritises our families over the expansion of the state.
I am pleased to see there are several areas where the force has made improvements. This includes the way the force prevents and deters crime and anti social behaviour and reduces vulnerability, with recognition that the force has invested in the capacity and capability of neighbourhood policing teams, is effective in its approach to identifying and preventing violence against women and girls (VAWG) and, is effective in preventing and reducing rural crime.

The Safety Camera Motorcyclist team will provide a more agile and responsive approach to road safety enforcement supporting the force’s focus on improving road safety, tackling the ‘Fatal Five’ offences: speeding, drink and drug driving, not wearing a seatbelt, using a mobile phone, and careless or dangerous driving, and reducing the number of people killed or seriously injured on roads across Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire and Milton Keynes.
