CRIME in Kent has fallen for the fourth year in a row. Police have seen a decrease in robbery, sexual offences and theft.
However, with the latest spending cuts that the government have implemented, local people have concerns that crime will increase due to less Police being available.
Canterbury Liberal Democrat councilor Alex Perkins raises his concerns about the latest Police statistics “Police do feel the need to raise public expectations, but you will find that a lot of people do not report crime anymore as they do not think that the Police will do anything about it.”
Although Police have seen a decrease in some areas of crime in Canterbury, vehicle theft, and violence against a person is increasing.
Kent Police issued a statement about the figures “We will not get complacent, we have a lot of other ideas to keep Kent safe, and we will implement them as we see effective. We are, of course, happy with the progress of the Kent Police force and we hope to continue this way.”
