Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to help improve Government relations with police forces.
The Government welcomes open and honest engagement with policing partners and Ministers meet regularly with senior policing leaders and staff associations on a range of matters.
We are continuing to invest in policing and are recruiting 20,000 additional officers to ensure policing has the resources it needs to fight crime. By March 2023, we will have the highest number of officers on record.
