Answer
This Government is delivering on the people’s priorities by giving policing the biggest funding increase in a decade.
In total we’re increasing the funding available to the policing system by over £1bn this year.
In order to help recruit we are giving PCCs an additional £700 million this year to help deliver the recruitment of 6,000 additional officers by the end of March 2021; we have already recruited 3000 new officers.
We are giving the police the resources they need to fight crime and keep the public safe.
