Ban serving or former police officers from working on/advising the OPCC
The Office of the Police and Crime Commissioner (OPCC) is meant to hold police forces accountable. Yet we feel its current structure allows serving or former officers, and elected officials with close ties to law enforcement, to oversee misconduct investigations involving their own colleagues

Prevent people convicted of serious crimes standing or serving as MPs
Ban anyone who has ever been convicted of serious offences (such as sex offences against children, terrorism, serious fraud, corruption, violent crimes) including foreign convictions and given a custodial or suspended sentence from standing for or serving as an MP; when appeals have been exhausted.
Ban publication of police officer names in misconduct hearings if not sacked
When police officers face misconduct hearings, their names are routinely published by their force and reported in the press — even in cases where they are not dismissed.
Ban MPs from having second jobs except in NHS
MPs should not have other jobs outside of Parliament unless they are qualified doctors, nurses or other healthcare professionals and actively work in the NHS
Permit off-duty police & (ex)military to carry batons for public safety
We request Parliament permit trained active and veteran military and police, whilst off-duty, to carry an authorised extendable baton for what we feel are the purposes of public safety and personal protection.
Remove Regulation 4(8) of the Police (Conduct) Regulations 2020
Amend the Police (Conduct) Regulations 2020 so that misconduct proceedings can be brought against any former police officer, regardless of when they left the service. We believe the current cut-off date of 15 December 2017 unfairly prevents accountability for past abuse and corruption.
