Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of 2 December 2024 to Question 16677 on Community Policing: Cambridgeshire, how many of the 13,000 additional police officers Cambridgeshire Constabulary will receive.

As part of the Government’s Safer Streets mission, the Home Secretary has made a clear commitment to strengthen neighbourhood policing through the introduction of a Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee.

This includes delivering an additional 13,000 police officers, PCSOs and special constables in neighbourhood policing roles up and down the country. We are working closely with policing to implement this commitment and will announce our plans for the delivery of neighbourhood officers shortly. Every part of the country needs to benefit from this pledge, and of course that includes Cambridgeshire.
