Round of applause for Chief Constable of Cambridgeshire

Julie Spence, the Chief Constable for Cambridgeshire has always impressed me. When she took over policing in the County she had an immediate impact.

Today she has spoken out about the need for additional resources for the police to cope with the huge migrant population in the County. She is right, our police funding (and the funding for just about everything else) is not where it should be. We are hamstrung enough by this even before the complex issue of economic migrants is taken into account.

The fact that she has had the strength of character to stand up to the home office and highlight this issue is to be applauded.
