Answer
This Government is committed to strengthening neighbourhood policing as part of our Safer Streets Mission, putting neighbourhood police officers and community support officers back on the beat in every part of the country.
We are currently working closely with policing to design our Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee, which will involve guaranteed local patrols and new tools for the police to crack down on the crimes blighting communities, including shoplifting and antisocial behaviour.
