At an event in Derbyshire, a key target council which is currently run by the Conservatives, Sir Keir said Labour councils would "work hand-in-hand" with the government on its plan for change, including bringing back community policing, supporting High Streets and fixing potholes.

During one of his confirmation hearings, McDonnell told the City Council that he wants more cops for “reinforcing” community policing, whichcalls for officers to get out of their vehicles and engage with residents, instead of racing from one 911 call to the next.

“But the efficiency comes at the expense of the community policing philosophy.”

He said community policing had "ceased to exist in any meaningful form" and shoplifting had in effect been "decriminalised".

In 2019, however, his Justice Department was permitted by a federal appeals court to give preferential treatment to cooperative cities on providing community policing grants.
