The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps she is taking to monitor the adequacy of policing in city centres.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

The Home Secretary has made a clear commitment to strengthen neighbourhood policing through the introduction of a Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee, which will include restoring patrols to town centres.

This will also involve the addition of thousands more neighbourhood police personnel, as part of the Government’s Safer Streets mission.
