THE Thames Valley police and crime commissioner (PCC) has welcomed the news that 582 officers have been recruited to the force since September 2019.

The recruitment, part of the national Uplift programme, brought the total number of officers up to 4,832 by the end of last December.

An additional 20,000 police officers will be recruited across all forces in England by March as part of the Home Office programme.

The PCC, Matthew Barber, said: "The additional 582 police officers recruited, as part of the Uplift programme, will help to cut crime across Thames Valley, reassuring our communities that it is a safe place to live.

"The force is on track to exceed the Home Office target of 609 additional officers by the end of this financial year.

"As part of my plans to strengthen community policing, I am planning to increase the size of the force by a further 80 police officers to help tackle crime in local communities.

"Recruitment continues across the force for police officers, PCSOs and staff."
