Question to the Home Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, pursuant to the Answer of the 28 April 2025 to Question 44693 on Neighbourhood Policing, how the figure of an additional 13,000 neighbourhood police officers was calculated.

As set out in the Labour Party Manifesto, this Government has a clear commitment to recruit 13,000 additional neighbourhood officers.

Neighbourhood policing is the bedrock of the British policing model. Every community deserves visible, pro-active and accessible neighbourhood policing with officers tackling the issues that matter to them.
