Liberal Democrats: Alan Hagger for Police and Crime Commissioner

I am an experienced service commissioner with a track record of achieving impactful change across public services. As your PCC, I will focus on doing what works to reduce crime and support victims.

My plan for Wiltshire and Swindon

  • Restore community policing through a partnership between police and residents – officers will be visible and known to people in their communities, and people will be able to contact police where they live
  • Tackle the epidemic of violence against women and girls
  • Maximise investment to support all victims of crime
  • Tackle anti-social behaviour through targeted work with partners
  • Invest in crime prevention and work with young people at risk of offending
  • Reduce repeat offending by providing a clear pathway for offenders leaving custody
  • Help improve support for police officers – from mental health support and dealing with the emotional and psychological impact of what they do, to advocating for fair pay and terms and conditions

 

I will represent the people of Wiltshire and Swindon with openness and transparency. I will be honest about what the police can and can’t do, and through working in partnership with local residents, maximise what is possible.

Connected to the community

I grew up in South London before moving to Winchester and later to Amesbury. Throughout my 50-year career I have been working to support people: First as a residential social worker with deaf children, then working with children with learning disabilities, and ultimately commissioning services to support the most vulnerable amongst us.

My partner and I have six children between us, four grandchildren, two cats and two dogs – an ageing golden retriever and a silly sausage dog.

Experienced in policing and community safety

I have ten years’ hands-on experience as Head of Strategic Commissioning for the Police and Crime Commissioner for Hampshire and the Isle of Wight.

I know the system, and I know what is possible. Under my leadership, we developed highly effective services for victims of crime, repeat offenders, young people at risk of offending, and crime prevention initiatives.

Before that, I was Director of Commissioning for Hampshire County Council.
