Furthermore, we believe that the changes implemented in October 2012 (with Police Officers starting and ending shifts in Luton) have had a detrimental impact on the town.
Crime figures for April to June 2012 have shown that crime in Leighton-Linslade has risen 15.2% compared to April to June 2012.
This petition is supported by individual Leighton-Linslade Town Councillors from all political parties. This petition will be presented to Bedfordshire's Police and Crime Commissioner Olly Martins.

The current level of support confirms that our concerns about town policing are widely shared. I am now finalizing the briefing document to present to the Police and Crime Commissioner.

Keep the police in LB. We pay our taxes for local services not to have everything centralized elsewhere.
Living here for 20 years and its never felt this dodgy. We need our own officers back in town not driving in from Luton every time something happens.
ridiculous. how are we supposed to feel safe when the local station is empty half the time?
my shop got broken into last month and we waited forever for someone to show up. pathetic.
Too many cars being broken into lately. Needs to be sorted before someone gets hurt.
