Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, by what date his Department plans for the 20,000 new police officers to have completed training at the National College of Policing at Hendon.
The Government has committed to increasing the number of police officers by an additional 20,000 over the next three years.
Chief Constables are responsible for providing training for every recruit. We are working with the College of Policing and the National Police Chiefs’ Council to ensure all forces are supported in recruitment and training needs.
