Paul Gleeson said: “This Tory Government is making the wrong choices on crime, taking frontline police off the streets, weakening powers to deal with anti-social behaviour, and opening the door to the privatisation of core services.
“In Lincolnshire we are already seeing the impact of these wrong choices with 32 fewer officers since the general election and a prediction that Lincolnshire could lose 138 officers by 2015.
“I will put fighting the impact of these reckless changes at the heart of my campaign.”
Richard Davies (Conservative), independents David Bowles and Mervyn Barrett, and English Democrat Elliott Fountain are also standing for the Police and Crime Commissioner role in Lincolnshire.
