Rise in police having to deal with the mentally ill particularly out of hours
26:08
Predictive policing, how successful is the 'Prevent
Strategy' and does it unnecessarily target Muslims?
34:38 Austerity: since
David Cameron became
Prime Minister in
2010 Avon and Somerset have lost 20%, thats 700 officers. Can the police continue to prioritise neighbourhood policing and police by consent?
40:51
Too big to jail? Are white collar criminals above the law selling public assets to their friends for far less than their real value?
Bristol General Hospital sold for only £6m and
Bristol Port sold for roughly £45m.

XLW

UKIP – Aaron Warren-Foote (not present – milking cows)
What has Sue Mountstevens achieved in the last four years? £5,000 deposit to stand is anti-democratic, way too expensive for
PCC; Why should people vote for each candidate? £60m of cuts – 700 officers gone since 2010 austerity began; that's 20%;
Police are dealing with mentally ill more and more, especially out of hours – how will PCCs improve this situation? Austerity and ideological cuts by
Tories;
Unfortunately Mark Weston could not be here to explain the wisdom or otherwise.
Does the 'Prevent
Strategy' for 'counter-extremism' work? Predictive policing, clip of Nahella Ashraf from '
Manchester Stand Up To Racism' discussing Muslims feeling targeted, freedom of speech, body cams; What will candidates do about erosion of 'neighbourhood policing' or 'policing by consent'?
Police stations closing, cyber crime, drug gangs, neighbourhood watch; Will candidates deal with white collar crime?
Clip of Ian Fraser discussing impunity of bankers, Blue Arrow trial in
1993 followed by
Section 166 of the
The Financial Services and Markets Act 2000 formally put bankers and the establishment above the law?

Independent Residents Panel for Police Complaints; Do police still have to be
Freemasons to be promoted above the level of Inspector? Kerry Barker says this was a serious problem in some areas such as
Portsmouth where masons were infiltrating the magistrates too. Police,
Magistrates and Freemasonry in past - register of Freemasons in A&S; Police but it's only voluntary;
