erm
you may wonder if policing should be political
we are the party of the correct and strict policing - so vote X
or you may think that policing should be on the grounds of - we police where it is dangerous - not where people are double parking and dropping cigarette butts
neither is right or wrong

//Violent crime is part of everyday life so stop making a fuss. Now, lets get a blanket ban on all junk food advertising on the London Underground//
A well stated point.
To his credit Khan has put a few bollards on a few bridges, thereby proving his commitment to resisting terror by all symbolic means available to him.
And, speaking as an obese lesbian myself, I applaud his banning of body-shaming ads on London's buses.

I ask, because according to the Mayor’s office - he’s doing the following:
Boosting police power
A new violent crime taskforce of 120 officers has been created using additional funding from City Hall announced by the Mayor in February. The taskforce will focus solely on violent crime, weapon-enabled crime and serious criminality.
The Met Police has introduced targeted patrols with extra stop and search powers for areas worst-affected by knife crime
The Mayor is protecting the number of frontline police officers on London’s streets by investing £110m in the Met Police.
Police made more than 900 arrests during Operation Winter Nights in November and December, taking more than 350 weapons off London’s streets
Preventing future violence
In February Mayor created the £45m Young Londoners Fund to help steer young people away from violent crime
Knife wands are now available for every school in London to help keep young people safe, with 150 schools so far taking up the offer
The widely shared London Needs You Alive campaign brings together role models and youth influencers to send a positive message to young people - that they shouldn’t put their lives at risk by carrying a knife
The Mayor’s granted £7 million to projects to combat youth violence across London and £250,000 to community groups and grassroots initiatives
The Mayor is working to bring in more Safer Schools Officers to help to drive down knife crime in schools
Tackling gang violence
The Mayor’s investing £2m in London Gang Exit services to support young people at risk of or engaged in serious violence and help them into employment, education or training
City Hall works with the police, charities and councils on two programmes aimed at ending and preventing gang violence and exploitation, working with victims and young people at risk
Action plans under way
The Mayor has published a new Knife Crime Strategy, a package of tough and comprehensive measures to tackle knife crime, taking in views from bereaved families and victims. It was the first by a London Mayor
He hosted an Education Knife Crime Summit in 2016, bringing together Ofsted, educators, the Met and families to work on anti-knife crime education in schools
Every London borough now has its own knife crime action plan to tackle violence locally, created in partnership with the Met
