More police set to be on streets

More than 150 additional officers are expected to be taken on across the Northumbria Police area after recruitment proposals from the force were accepted.

This will include the recruitment of an additional 95 police officers, 27 PCSOs and 30 special constables over the next year to increase its community policing presence.

It comes as part of a national drive to deliver an additional 13,000 neighbourhood officers, PCSOs and special constables over the next your years. A neighbourhood policing guarantee (NPG) has also been outlined to tell the public what they should be able to expect from local neighbourhood teams.
