Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what progress her Department has made on delivering 20,000 new police officers.
As at 31 December 2021, police forces in England and Wales have already recruited over 11,000 additional officers as part of the Police Uplift Programme and we are on track to deliver 20,000 additional officers by March 2023.
I am pleased to say 251 of these officers have so far been recruited to Nottinghamshire Police.
