Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what the cost in each budgetary category of national police recruitment campaigns was in each police force area in England and Wales in each of the last five years.
The Home Office does not collect this information. Decisions about the size and composition of the police workforce, including when and how to recruit new officers, are a matter for individual Chief Constables, working with the relevant Local Policing Body.
