Proceeding contribution from Philip Hollobone (Conservative) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 6 November 2008. It occurred during Debate on Fighting Crime (Public Engagement).
Fighting Crime (Public Engagement)
One of the best ways in which police forces can become more visible is by recruiting and attracting special constables, but since this Government came to office the number of specials has, according to the Home Office's own figures, fallen from 19,874 to 14,547. In my policing area in Northamptonshire, their numbers are down from 316 to 180. What is the Home Office doing to reverse that trend?
