The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many named neighbourhood officers are in place in England and Wales.

Answered by Sarah Jones

The Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee ensures that every neighbourhood has named, contactable officers, with details available via each local police force’s website.

As part of the Guarantee, 3,000 additional officers and PCSOs will be deployed to neighbourhood policing teams across England and Wales by March 2026.
