Transforming Policing
Reforming the justice system
NI People want to stop the need for so many departments within the justice system and put money into more police officers and prison officers.
Our police service has been stripped back bit by bit; it has lost the connection with the community and has been more interested in handling paperwork. We need officers to put tackling crime first. The police service should protect our human rights and uphold the oath to protect our people. We need our dormant police stations to be local, not centralised, and manned. Our people should not have to wait over an hour for police to turn up in any situation.
Revamping Justice Services
A clear vision for our prison system
Our prisons are not fit for purpose. The prison population is seriously increasing and there are not enough officers to deal appropriately with this.
Create a separate women’s prison, not with the young offenders.
Prioritise work and education for prisoners to give them a helping hand for when they are released.
Tackle drug abuse and mental health, giving prisoners a better chance for life on the outside.
Create a clear vision on staff retention in all areas of the judicial system.
