Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what metrics are being used to assess the effectiveness of the Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee.

The Government published the Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee Performance Framework in April 2025, which sets out how forces will be held to account. It includes measures on crime and other key indicators, including growth of neighbourhood policing. The framework outlines to forces and the public the performance measures used to assess progress. The framework can be found at this link: neighbourhood policing guarantee performance framework
