The Prime Minister will set out his plan for Government, from policing to NHS waiting lists
One of the pledges Starmer is expected to announce is a guarantee that every neighbourhood will have a named, contactable police officer responsible for dealing with local issues. That will amount to recruiting 13,000 new community police officers, which would bring the total police workforce to a level above its 2010 peak. Police numbers fell following the 2010 election, before rising again after 2019 as the previous government pledged to recruit 20,000 police officers.
' 'This marks a return to the founding principles of British policing - where officers are part of the communities they serve,' said Cooper. The Conservatives claim that only a third of the 13,000 new recruits would be full police officers and that funding allocated would not be sufficient, leading to cuts elsewhere.
