Extra £100million to be pumped into neighbourhood policing as Starmer desperately tries to quell simmering unrest on Britain's streets

Daily Mail  

The Government will put an extra £100million into neighbourhood policing as it seeks to fulfill its pledge to put more officers on the ground. That fell short of the £1.3bn which chief constables said police forces would need to plug funding gaps over the next two years. National Police Chiefs' Council lead for finance, Chief Constable Paul Sanford, said then the funding settlement presented 'real challenges' for policing and would 'inevitably lead to cuts across forces'. Lincolnshire Police yesterday said it has a £14m funding gap next year, and the force is 'exploring options', including potentially reducing the number of officers by up to 1,000 by 2029. Senior officers including Met Chief Sir Mark Rowley have warned of funding difficulties The Metropolitan Police chief Sir Mark Rowley confirmed the country's biggest police force will not make cuts to neighbourhood policing, despite a 'stretch in the system'.
