Stephen Kerr: “The SNP have failed to give Scotland the police officers it requires and that situation is completely unsustainable.”

After nearly 20 years in government, crime is soaring, while the number of police officers continues to be slashed.

This is yet another insult to taxpayers and another indictment of the SNP's broken justice system.

The results of their cuts are plain to see and communities are living in fear of violent offenders.

The SNP have weakened deterrence, piled pressure on to our police and repeatedly put the interests of offenders ahead of victims.
