John, everyone deserves to feel safe in their own home.

Families should have the confidence that if someone does break into their home, the criminal will be caught and punished.

The reality is that, up and down the country, hundreds of victims are being failed every day.

This Conservative government has left our police forces overstretched and under-resourced.

They are allowing criminals to get away with their crimes and leaving victims feeling let down and vulnerable.

It is not good enough.

At the very least, people should be able to expect that if they are burgled, the police will attend the scene and investigate properly. But despite all their tough talk on crime, the Conservatives aren’t even getting the basics right.

We have a plan to bring back proper, reliable, community policing that gives officers the resources they need.

The Liberal Democrats are calling for a new statutory guarantee that all burglaries will be attended by the police and properly investigated.

The Home Secretary can bring forward legislation to do this, but if she doesn’t, we will seek to add this to the Victims and Prisoners Bill, which is heading through Parliament right now.

Of course, this must be coupled with the funding and resources needed so local police forces can get the job done.

That means finally delivering on the pledge to recruit 20,000 extra police officers. And freeing up local forces to tackle burglaries and other neighbourhood crimes by creating a new Online Crime Agency to take over things like online fraud and abuse.

People are sick of broken Conservative Party promises.

It’s time to act now.

John, will you add your name to our Burglary Response Guarantee campaign?
