The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her department are taking to increase visible policing on streets.

Answered by Sarah Jones

The Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee ensures that every neighbourhood has named, contactable officers and that communities are now benefitting from more visible patrols, and stronger engagement.

Additionally, 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.
