UK PM Rishi Sunak's Conservative party plans to recruit 8,000 additional police officers in England and Wales, with one officer for each ward. This follows the recruitment of 20,000 officers since 2019. The party claims that the previous recruitment only replaced officers who left between 2010 and 2019 after budget cuts. The new officers will strengthen neighborhood policing teams, boost powers to seize weapons, and enter premises without a warrant to seize stolen goods.
