Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to improve neighbourhood policing.

Neighbourhood policing sits at the heart of the British policing model. It is a critical building block in helping communities feel safe.

That is why we are introducing the Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee, restoring patrols to town centres and recruiting thousands of extra police officers, PCSOs and Special Constables, and we will set out further details in due course.
