The Commissioner’s office is in free fall after repeated scandals.

Full statement

The Police Chief is suspended, and the Fire Chief can’t take up their post as they are being investigated.

Public belief has been severely shaken. Morale within the services is at an all-time low. It is an almighty and embarrassing mess.

However, I believe I have a unique set of skills that can turn this around.

I was a Senior Police Officer in the 90’s here in Northants. An International Law Enforcement Consultant. Head hunted to be a Security Consultant for the Olympics. I am woman of integrity. When covid lockdown hit I worked in my Mum’s carehome. I nursed many covid residents. Sadly, we lost 4 of 12 on my floor. I managed a National Covid Vaccination Centre in Moulton, Northampton for 3 years.

I believe I have the respect, knowledge and WILL to turn this around.

The Office of the Commissioner needs a total re-boot.

I will perform a forensic look at the 7 million that Commissioner takes straight off the top of the Police and Fire budgets. I will appoint a Chief Fire Officer that actually has fire experience. I will raise morale and give the officers and public a Commissioner and Chief officers that they feel proud of. I will provide resources so that we can Improve response times and crime investigation. It will be hard work. It will take every hour of the four years to rebuild our services.

The people of Northamptonshire have been through enough. Help me fix this.
