Neighbourhood Policing

Question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how she plans to identify the (a) roles and (b) number of police officers in each role who will be redeployed to increase neighbourhood policing.

Answer

We have asked forces to outline proposals for their workforce mix that is tailored to local needs and operational contexts, based on what is deliverable within their funding allocation.

This will ensure that additional neighbourhood personnel in 2025-26 are delivered in a manner that is flexible and easily adaptable to varied crime demands, allowing forces to increase the neighbourhood policing workforce at pace.
