Government break a pledge, has that ever happened before?
They were never going to reach it.
This country needs to decide what it wants. Does it want more police officers responding to calls, going to burglaries and on foot patrol or does it want a well vetted, professional force?
The two are at complete odds with the pithy budgets all forces have been running on since 2010.
The Police are failing in many sectors but it’s not for lack of trying.
So that gives them a month to change what the definition of police officer is, or recruit.

You’re overworked, underpaid, deal with unpleasant situations daily, and half the internet has decided it’s fair game to call you a ‘rapist’. Would you join?
Never forget this is the same government that fired 28,000 police staff when it came into power over a decade ago.
Who wants to be a police officer when your paid shite treated like shite and a rapist by association apparently
I guess their advertising campaign in the sex offender wings of prisons hasn’t panned put as well as they hoped.
They’re going to have to sack 10,000 within a couple of months.
I think this is probably a good thing given the problems the Met has with rapists, murderers, paedo, and other criminal throughout their ranks. I’d prefer to take time so new police can be thoroughly vetted.
No, no, no, we never said that we were going to recruit 20,000 new officers. We’ve met our pledge, just like the hospitals. You’re just not defining it the same way that we do. In fact, we’ve concluded that over 20,000 officers have received some form of training. That training effectively makes them ‘new’
Tories break a pledge ? Never ! Have they done anything in the 2019 manifesto
is this the pledge that meant by 2023 we would have the same number of police we had 15 years ago…..
I recall essex road police were cut by 70%….. oddly enough, my trip through essex is constantly delayed on the m11 because of crashes caused by insanely dumb driving
Lmao – this is the least of their worries. Corrupt cunts
Well, what a shocker! My flabber is totally gasted.
When you have an electorate that only car about soundbites more than actual delivery this is what you get.
Tories could promise to make you a millionaire and the current crop of voters would elect them for several decades with the expectation that it will be delivered to them soon
Well, there’s still 2 months. I’m sure they’re running from door to door asking everyone to apply.
Well as someone who has seen the actual job postings I’m not suprised.. often they have a critical catch like “you have to have lived in this one part of town for 5 years or don’t apply” what the hell is the point of that.
Fired 28k officers. Promised to hire 20k. Did not, in fact, do so.
Well I’m very surprised
Surprised they don’t just recruit directly from prison…
As if this criminal gang of grifters would actually want MORE police. Hahahaha.
They will break it.
I mean, they promise everything but deliver nothing.
20k by 2 months, I wonder what sort of fast vetting process they’ll be using 🤔
Tories on verge of breaking every pledge they ever made. Whoops! Sorry they already broken most of them…
You will see police forces cutting police staff positions soon. Limits on budget increases and inflation, plus having to absorb these uplift in officer numbers means they have to cut back elsewhere.
Which is stupid as you do need staff behind officers work. So forces will have more officers (about what they had 10-12 years ago) but they won’t be as effective as they should be.
