If elected Police and Crime Commissioner for Sussex, Paul would urgently review and improve services supporting children and youth in society, to divert vulnerable youngsters from choosing pathways into crime.

Delighted to receive this endorsement for my police and crime commissioner campaign from a former Labour Home Secretary. Thank you, Jacqui Smith.

Rural crime is a serious issue for the villages and farms of Sussex. We need more police in the rural crime teams, and a third rural crime HQ in East Sussex to reduce police response times and prevent rural crime.

Once again, issues raised by residents include anti-social behaviour and Tory county council cuts to youth services.

I am launching my five-point plan for a cleaner, greener Sussex police. As Sussex police and crime commissioner I will turn the thin blue line green.

Here is Paul in Haywards Heath discussing the question of police response to anti-social behaviour with Labour’s Greg Mountain.

Great to catch up with Peter Lamb, Labour leader of Crawley council at Crawley Town Hall.

We’re talking police numbers, the courts backlog and crime and antisocial behaviour in Crawley.

A great skate park in Haywards Heath. This is the kind of facility I will invest in as your Labour & Co-operative Sussex Police and Crime Commissioner.

If we want to prevent crime and antisocial behaviour we must invest in youth services, sports clubs and six-a-side football leagues like the one I visited here at Eastbourne Sports Park. As Sussex police and crime commissioner I will invest in youth services and sports.
