Question to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what assessment she has made of police capacity to adequately investigate low-level crimes.
This question was answered on 6th September 2019
We recognise that demand on policing is changing and becoming more complex. That is why we provided an additional £1 billion of funding for policing in 2019/20 and PCCs announced plans to recruit an additional 3000 police officers and over 700 police staff.
The Government is now going even further – the Prime Minister announced on 26 July our commitment to recruiting an additional 20,000 police officers in England and Wales over the next three years.
