Back in 2019 I stood on a manifesto that promised to increase police numbers by 20,000 and I am delighted to announce that we have more than reached our goal! Here in North Lincolnshire, Humberside Police now have almost 200 more police officers than in 2010.
Fighting crime and making our communities safer is one of the Government's priorities, and getting more police on the beat like this is how we do it.
