The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to increase public confidence in policing in Gloucester.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

As part of the Safer Street’s Mission, the Government has set out an ambition to halve violence against women and girls, halve knife crime and restore public confidence in policing, including through the delivery of a Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee.

Provision has been made for £1,527,344 of funding to Gloucestershire Constabulary to kickstart the increase of neighbourhood policing personnel in 2025/26.
