I am honoured to have been re-selected as the Conservative
Candidate for Kent Police & Crime Commissioner and I am asking for your
support for another four year term of office.
At the time of my election in
2016 I promised no gimmicks or publicity stunts, but to work tirelessly to
improve police numbers, reduce crime and make the people of Kent safer and more
secure.
Four years later what has been achieved?
-
By March 2020 we will have 450 police officers in Kent and by March 2021 our
police numbers in Kent will be the highest ever
- I have retained all our Police Community Support
Officers and we will have 50 new PCSOs by March 2021
- All police station counters have been retained and I have
invested heavily in online reporting. Call waiting times to 101 have fallen
from an average of five minutes to 90 seconds thanks to extra staff and
resources from my budget
- I have funded the return of Kent Volunteer Police Cadets
with almost 340 young people, many from our most deprived areas, taking-up the opportunity to learn police work and contribute value to their local
community.
Over the coming weeks and months we need to communicate our
achievements to every household and resident of Kent, but this is a major and
expensive project. Kent is the UK's 10th biggest county in area and 5th in
population, with 1,784,000 people living in 748,000 properties. We also need to
write to postal voters, and where possible deliver a card during polling week
reminding people to vote.
My Campaign Team have set a target of £50,000. If we reach this target we will
have enough money to deliver a first rate campaign without needing to ask our
hard pressed local Conservative Associations to make-up the shortfall.
Please
help if you can. Every donation, however large or small, will take us a step
closer to our target.
The fastest and simplest way to donate is via credit/debit card or PayPal, to

Wood TN12 6EN. Please write PCC Campaign on the reverse of your cheque.
With thanks and best wishes
Matthew Scott

Kent Police and Crime Commissioner
