LONDON, April 10 (Xinhua) -- British Prime Minister Keir Starmer announced Thursday that 3,000 neighbourhood officers and community support officers will be in place next year.
Starmer said during a visit to the headquarters of Cambridgeshire Police that the government plans to deploy 13,000 new neighbourhood officers by 2029 under the "Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee," a measure aimed at ending the "culture of crime that is destroying our communities." This initiative represents an over 50 percent increase in neighbourhood policing.
