Allow SIA trained persons to carry CS/PAVA spray and ASP/ARNOLD batons
Parliament should authorise Security and Industry Authority (SIA) trained persons to carry CS/PAVA spray and ASP/ARNOLD batons with additional training via the SIA.
Arm all police officers with firearms
We call on the Government to ensure all police officers can carry firearms, not just authorised firearms officers.
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
Allow stun guns or tasers to be carried and used in self defence
We demand the relaxing of firearms law to allow law abiding citizens, with no criminal or poor mental health background that suggests they are dangerous, to protect themselves and their family against intrusion or attack.
Make it legal to carry regulated non-lethal self-defence products.
We believe threat of violent crime can make many feel unsafe. We ask Parliament to review weapons laws and allow adults to buy, possess and use regulated non-lethal self-defence items. The framework should cover product approval, licensed retailers, safe-use guidance and heavy penalties for misuse.
