Neighbourhood Policing: Dorset

Asked by Tom HayesLabourHome OfficeTabled Answered 4 December 2024UIN 16679

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what progress she has made on delivering additional neighbourhood police officers in Dorset.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

As part of the Government’s Safer Streets mission, the Home Secretary has made a clear commitment to strengthen neighbourhood policing through the introduction of a Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee. This includes delivering an additional 13,000 police officers, PCSOs and special constables in neighbourhood policing roles up and down the country and ensuring every community has a named officer to turn to. Every part of the country will benefit from this pledge, including Dorset.

We are working closely with policing to implement this commitment and will announce our plans.
