What proportion of the proposed 13,000 new neighbourhood police officers will be (a) warranted police officers, (b) Police Community Support Officers and (c) Special Constables; and how many of each such officer will be allocated to the Cambridgeshire constabulary.

Reply

The Government’s Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee is supported by a commitment to introduce additional 13,000 police personnel into neighbourhood policing. This will be achieved through the recruitment of thousands of additional Police Constables, Police Community Support Officers, and Special Constables, as well as the redeployment of thousands of current Police Constables, into neighbourhood policing roles across England and Wales.This will provide every community a named local officer to turn to and ensure that there is appropriate resource to tackle the crimes that most impact communities, including anti-social behaviour and shoplifting.We want to deliver this additional support as quickly as possible and are working at pace alongside policing partners to devise the right model for implementation. We will set out further plans shortly.
