Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the job titles of each of the 18 new police officers recruited to Hampshire Constabulary serving in Portsmouth will be.
The Government is increasing the number of police officers by 20,000 over the next three years.
Hampshire Constabulary has been allocated 156 for year one and has recruited 31 officers towards this figure.
It is up to operationally independent Chief Constables to decide how the additional officers are deployed, including roles and job titles.
