The Labour government’s commitment to deploy 13,000 additional neighbourhood police officers remains uncertain, with Minister Diana Johnson stating details are still being worked through.
Dame Diana Johnson indicated that the incoming government is still determining whether the 13,000 promised neighbourhood officers will be newly recruited or repurposed from existing staff.
The announcement of a dedicated neighbourhood police training program at the Police Superintendents' Association conference suggests a proactive approach to community policing, despite the ambiguity in officer recruitment.
Johnson's admission of uncertainty highlights the challenges the Labour government faces in fulfilling its policing manifesto promise within a short timeframe since taking office.
