🗣 30 EXTRA COPS IN CAMBRIDGESHIRE, GOVERNMENT ANNOUNCES![]()
![]()
Thirty extra police officers will be recruited to boost neighbourhood policing across Cambridgeshire, the Prime Minister and Home Secretary announced during a visit to Force Headquarters earlier this month.![]()
![]()
The Force will receive just over £2 million of Government funding which will also pay for seven more PCSOs and 13 Specials.![]()
Sir Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper visited headquarters on the day they announced further details of the Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee, including the funding for 2025 to 2026, the first stage of a four-year programme which will bring 13,000 extra police officers, PCSOs and Specials into neighbourhood policing roles by the end of this Parliament.![]()
As part of the Government initiative, every neighbourhood in England and Wales will have dedicated teams spending their time on the beat, with guaranteed police patrols in town centres and other hotspot areas at peak times such as Friday and Saturday nights. ![]()
Communities will also have named, contactable officers to tackle the issues facing their communities and there will be a dedicated anti-social behaviour lead in every force, working with residents and businesses to develop tailored action plans.![]()
Liz Groom, chair of Cambridgeshire Police Federation, says the investment in neighbourhood policing is welcome, but called on the Government to put more money into the service.![]()
“Neighbourhood policing is a critical part of the service we provide to the communities of Cambridgeshire,” says Liz, “We know that the public want to see a more visible policing presence on the streets, to fight crime and anti-social behaviour but also to offer reassurance.![]()
“This funding will help us build on our neighbourhood teams, so we welcome the Government’s commitment to this initiative.![]()
“But we also need the Home Secretary to address police officer pay which has fallen in real terms in recent years, contributing to an officer retention crisis that is making it hard for forces to maintain officer numbers, and that needs to include the abolition of the Police Remuneration Review Body and its replacement with a fair and independent pay review body.![]()
“In addition, we want the Government to urgently consider giving our officers access to the South East Allowance which ranges from £2,000 to £3,000 a year and is already available to colleagues in Bedfordshire and Hertfordshire and would make a real difference to our members.”![]()

Huntingdon Conservative MP Ben Obese-Jecty asked the policing minister to take steps to award the allowance to Cambridgeshire officers when he spoke in the House of Commons earlier this month, with Dame Diana Johnson agreeing to look into it.![]()
