Transcript

00:00So this week we've got the budget, I've been looking forward to what the government are

00:05going to announce for Lancashire because the government have come in with a real

00:11positive agenda around a commitment to policing and for us with our priorities

00:19within Lancashire we produced our police and crime plan which very much mirrors what the

00:26government have been saying which is about rebuilding neighbourhood policing, getting

00:31more police officers back out into the community. Delivering what the public have been telling me

00:37is important to them. Visibility, tackling anti-social behaviour, dealing with some of

00:43the drugs and the gangs and the problems that we have within Lancashire and give Lancashire

00:50residents the safety and security and the connection within policing that they deserve.

00:57So that has got to be really what we are aiming for with the budget is about making sure that we

01:04can deliver what the people of Lancashire have been asking for. You know we've been talking to

01:09the government constantly about how we need more resources, how we need them to deliver

01:16on their commitment, give us the tools we will do the job.
