Newly released figures show that 244 police officers have been recruited in Norfolk since 2019 as part of the Conservative Government’s pledge to put 20,000 more officers on the streets by March 2023.
Since the recruitment drive was launched in 2019, the 43 police forces across England and Wales have seen an additional 15,343 police officers recruited, putting the Government on track to deliver on its manifesto promise.
This builds on the Conservative Government’s Beating Crime Plan and Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act – aimed at reducing crime, protecting victims and making the country safer.
The latest figures are part of the Conservative Government’s drive to get 20,000 more police officers on the street by March 2023, and puts the Government on track to fulfil its manifesto commitment with 77 per cent of the target now met.
“Tackling crime is one of my constituents highest priorities and having more police officers should help to pursue criminals, keep neighbourhoods safe, protect victims, and reassure the law-abiding majority.”
