A key election commitment in 2019 was to recruit 20,000 extra police officers across the country. New figures today show that 16,573 officers have now been recruited since 2019, with an additional 582 in our local Thames Valley police force.
Significantly, this now brings the total number of officers in Thames Valley to 4,832, which up by 316 on the March 2010 headcount of 4,516.
Greg will continue to work with our outstanding local police to ensure they have the resources they need to keep us all safe.
