PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Police: Employment (15 October 2021)

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many and what proportion of police (a) constables and (b) community support officers funded directly by her Department (i) retired and (ii) were recruited for each year since 2010.

Asked by:
Feryal Clark (Labour)

Around two-thirds of funding for Police and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) comes directly from Government grants, with around a third coming from a share of council tax – known as police precept. Council tax levels are a local decision and elected PCCs rightly consider what they are asking people to pay to fulfil their strong desire to keep our streets safe.
