Neighbourhood Policing: Staff
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, whether the Government is on track to reach its Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee target of 13,000 additional police personnel.
Answered by Sarah Jones
As part of the Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee, the Government has committed to delivering 13,000 additional neighbourhood policing personnel by the end of this Parliament. By February 2026 we had delivered 3,123 additional full-time equivalent (FTE) police officers and PCSOs into neighbourhood roles since March 2025, with growth expected to reach 4,750 FTE by the end of March 2027.
