On Thursday 24th September, South Leics MP, Alberto Costa met firstly with Leicestershire Police Federation followed by a separate meeting with Simon Cole, Chief Constable of Leicestershire Police to discuss policing policies and issues.
Mr Costa said “I am grateful to Tiffany Lynch, Chair of the LPF for informing me about the issues concerning her members. I am also grateful to the Chief Constable for his time. As a member of the Parliament’s Justice Select Committee, I am very aware of the importance that the police have in maintaining law and order and in investigating crime. I will certainly have in mind the issues raised by the LPF and the Chief Constable respectively when discussing policing issues at committee meetings.”
