John, our latest analysis reveals that three in four burglaries across England and Wales went unsolved in the year to September 2023. That amounts to a shocking 213,814 burglaries!

Burglary can be devastating, not just for the material loss but also by leaving people feeling unsafe in their own homes.

Failure to bring burglars to justice only encourages them to strike again, confident they won’t be caught.

Such is the result of the Conservatives’ ‘burglar bailout’. Years of ineffective resourcing by the Conservatives have stretched local police forces thin, leaving them unable to tackle frontline crimes like burglary. In 2022 alone, officers failed to attend 45,000 burglaries - an essential step towards solving these crimes.

It is a travesty that so many victims are being let down by this reckless Conservative Government.

That’s why we’re calling for a Burglary Response Guarantee to ensure every incident is attended and properly investigated, bringing more criminals to justice and solace to victims.

Can you back our campaign, John?

Alongside this, we will restore proper community policing, where officers have the time and resources to prevent and solve crimes. We will also create an urgent national recruitment, training and retention strategy so we have the detectives needed.

Read our plans, which were adopted at last year’s Autumn Conference, here:

Everyone deserves to feel safe in their homes. We must reverse this shocking trend of unsolved burglaries and restore public trust in the police.

John, will you share our plans on social media, so your friends and family can see what we’re fighting for?

Best wishes,
