Emphasis on Effective Neighbourhood Policing

Understanding that the essence of effective policing lies in the trust and visibility of officers within the community, Adamcova stresses the importance of neighbourhood policing:

“Officers must be visible in our communities.”

Her detailed plan involves working closely with the Chief Constable to ensure that neighbourhood teams are well integrated within their communities and that staff turnover is minimized to foster local trust and efficient problem-solving. Additionally, Adamcova advocates for creating accessible community spaces where residents can interact with police to share concerns and local intelligence.

Reducing Knife Crime and Enhancing Road Safety

With a clear concern about the rise in knife crime, Adamcova asserts:

“The instances of knife crime must be reduced.”

Her campaign also focuses on a significant traffic safety initiative, promising to implement the “Vision Zero” strategy aimed at eliminating all road fatalities and serious injuries in Wiltshire. This commitment comes in response to a noticeable 17% increase in road casualties in the region from 2021 to 2022. Adamcova plans to collaborate with local councils, emergency services, and road safety partnerships to introduce advanced AI road safety cameras and other measures targeting key driver behaviours.

Commitment to Combatting Violence Against Women and Girls

Highlighting an urgent issue, Adamcova is dedicated to addressing the violence that affects women and girls disproportionately. With a national backdrop where the conviction rates for rape are dismally low, she calls for radical changes to improve these statistics and ensure safety:

“Violence against women and girls is unacceptable.”

Her approach includes enhancing local and national efforts to increase the rate of formal action against perpetrators, emphasizing that every woman and girl has the right to feel safe.

Vision for Wiltshire

Stanka Adamcova envisions a Wiltshire where effective policing strategies, community involvement, and a focus on critical issues like road safety and violence against women create a safer, more trusting environment. Her background in public service, combined with her commitments outlined in the campaign, positions her as a strong candidate who is ready to lead and instigate necessary changes in policing and community safety in Wiltshire.
