Merseyside police are known for their experience in investigating serious crime and gun crime, I know that with more funding they will be able to keep our city safe.
On Tuesday, Chief Constable Andy Cooke, Merseyside Police and Crime Commissioner Jane Kennedy, a group of Merseyside MPs and I met with the Security Minister to demand the extra funding that Merseyside Police urgently need.
Whilst the meeting was positive, I will be sure to keep the pressure on the Government to make sure that resources to tackle gun crime in Merseyside remain a priority.
