Julian 221 additional police officers for North Yorkshire Police
January 25, 2023
Julian has welcomed new figures that show 221 police officers have been recruited in North Yorkshire and York since 2019 as part of the Conservative Government’s pledge to put 20,000 more officers on the streets by March 2023.
Nationally, we’re 84% of the way to delivering our manifesto commitment of 20,000 extra police in England and Wales. That is 16,753 extra officers on the beat.
There are also now 51,107 female officers in our 43 police forces in England and Wales, which is also at its highest point.
Following this announcement, Julian said:
“I welcome this update on local police recruitment and I will work with North Yorkshire Police to ensure extra officers make a difference to the villages and suburbs of York Outer, not just the city centre.”
Home Secretary Suella Braverman said:
“Improving confidence in our police forces means we must attract the brightest and the best to one of the toughest but most rewarding jobs in our country. I am delighted we are on track to deliver our bold promise to the British people of putting 20,000 additional officers on the streets.
This next generation of brave police officers will add to efforts to drive down invasive crimes like burglary and neighbourhood offences, return to common sense policing and make our communities feel safer and stronger.”
