Question to the Home Office:

To ask His Majesty's Government what assessment they have made of the Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee since it was launched on 4 December 2024.

The Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee set out commitments for police forces to implement, by July 2025, and by the end of Parliament. Forces are now delivering on the Guarantee across England and Wales to ensure consistent and high-quality neighbourhood policing. This includes every force now having named, contactable officers dedicated to addressing the issues facing their communities, neighbourhood officers spending the majority of their time in their communities, responding to neighbourhood queries within 72 hours and all forces having an ASB lead.

Additionally, the Government has made £200 million available in 2025/26 to support the first steps of delivering 13,000 more neighbourhood policing personnel across England and Wales, including up to 3000 additional neighbourhood officers by March 2026.
