This question was answered on 30th June 2014
Like all parts of the public sector the police must play their part in
reducing the deficit and the vast majority of forces are rising to the
challenge of reducing costs, maintaining services and cutting crime.
Ultimately what matters is how officers are deployed, not how many of them
there are and, in Cleveland, police recorded crime has fallen by 14 per cent
since 2010.
