Humberside Police is poised to bolster neighbourhood policing ranks with 38 new recruits, thanks to a £3.2m grant from the government. The move is in line with public sentiment, as local surveys indicate that residents prioritise local policing, according to Police and Crime Commissioner Jonathan Evison. He added that the additional officers would enable them to further augment local policing presence and foster deeper engagement with the public and local businesses. The funding is part of a broader £200m Home Office scheme.
