I spoke with Philip Chryssikos on LBC News on Saturday 11 July about police jobs and recruitment following the news that 78,000 people applied to join the Police in the first six months of the year. The Government has committed to delivering 20,000 more Police by 2023, and in Kent, on top of the 450 I have delivered, we will get 437 more, making Kent Police the largest it’s ever been.

My interview with KMTV about taser, socially distant passing out parades and the sale of the Kent Police Headquarters site.
I spoke with BBC Radio Kent yesterday to oppose renewed challenges to taser. They are important pieces of kit that help protect Police Officers and the public. There’s robust training and effective scrutiny locally. I supported Kent Police’s Chief Constable to roll them out to every frontline Officer who wants one and can pass the training. It’s disappointing that the Independent Office of Police Conduct have decided now is the time to have a review of it – which I believe is unnecessary.
