During her visit to the Isle of Wight today (Friday 11 June) Police & Crime Commissioner Donna Jones met with Island MP Bob Seely to hear more about his concerns in relation to petty crime, domestic violence, hate crimes, drugs and speeding across the Island.
During the discussion, Ms Jones also referred the MP to her proposal to change the name of Hampshire Constabulary to include the Isle of Wight – something Mr Seely welcomed.
He said: “I am supportive of the name change to specifically include the Isle of Wight. I think it’s a great idea and puts the Island at the forefront of thinking when it comes to police planning and new ideas and initiatives being rolled out across the force.
“I would like to thank Donna for taking the time to come and talk to me and for listening to my concerns. I was interested to hear about Donna’s initial plans to improve the safety of Island residents and I look forward to working with her in the weeks and months ahead to take our ideas forward.”
