While there are more than 3,500 police officers overall today than in 2010, 11 of the country’s 43 forces - including Lancashire - have seen numbers shrink since then
Home Secretary Suella Braverman claimed there are now a “record” number of police in England and Wales after the government met its 2019 target to recruit 20,000 new officers despite a reduction in numbers in Lancashire.
The government insists that crime “excluding fraud and computer misuse” - which includes offences such as sending abusive emails and offensive social media posts - has fallen by 50% since 2010. While the Metropolitan Police Service is the busiest force in the country in terms of the number of crimes it deals with, it has the third lowest rate of crimes per officer , behind Devon and Cornwall Police and City of London Police , where the low crime rate may skew the figures. That is in spite of the Met missing its target to recruit 4,500 new officers, the only force in England and Wales to fail to meet its allocation.
