To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what progress her Department has made on delivering 20,000 new police officers.
As at 31 December 2021, police forces in England and Wales have already recruited over 11,000 additional officers as part of the Police Uplift Programme and we are on track to deliver 20,000 additional officers by March 2023.
I am pleased to say 251 of these officers have so far been recruited to Nottinghamshire Police.

What steps her Department is taking to increase police funding.
The Government are now spending over £15 billion on policing—an increase of £1 billion on last year, with £700 million being allocated to police and crime commissioners to recruit 6,000 additional officers by the end of March 2021. While there is no direct connection between police numbers and crime, this will give them the capacity to be much more agile in the face of changing crime.
