A senior police officer has admitted there is still “lots to do” to reduce gun crime across Merseyside after five high profile murders last year.
Temporary Assistant Chief Constable Mark Kameen said despite Merseyside experiencing its lowest rate of firearms discharges for more than two decades, the region’s police force had a way to go to improve while women and children were being killed on our streets. T/ACC Kameen was among a panel of senior police officers who were being scrutinised by Emily Spurrell, Merseyside Police and Crime Commissioner.
Data on the force’s performance over the last financial year indicated homicide and firearms discharges had increased.
