Solihull MP Lorely Burt has given her backing to the Police Federation's "real policing pledge".
The pledge commits supporters to upholding the office of police constable, maintaining the number of police, continued training of police, ensuring adequate police numbers in community teams, and honouring the results of the police negotiating board on pay.
The "real policing pledge" is a campaign organised by the Police Federation ahead of the general election to highlight crime issues and ask candidates to sign up.
Lorely said: "Crime and domestic violence can rise during a recession, which is why we should not cut back on front-line policing."
"The Liberal Democrats are committed to more police on the beat, and more effective policing on local priority areas, such as Solihull town centre and local parks."
Full details of the pledge are available on www.realpolicingpledge.co.uk
