Why was this petition rejected?
It asks the Senedd to do something that it is not able to do.
Petitions to the Senedd must call for a specific action that falls within the powers of the Senedd or Welsh Government.
Schedules 7A and 7B of the Government of Wales Act 2006 set out the issues which are ‘restricted’ or ‘reserved’ to the UK Parliament - i.e. areas where only the UK Parliament or Government, not the Senedd or Welsh Government, can act. Paragraphs 39 and 41 of Schedule 7A state that the prevention, detection and investigation of crime, and policing, are reserved to the UK Parliament and Government.
As a result, it is not possible for the Senedd to take the action called for by your petition.

We only reject petitions that don’t meet the petition standards
