UK police face trust issues due to reduced neighborhood policing, plans to add 13,000 officers.

The UK's police force faces criticism for losing public trust due to inadequate handling of local crimes like burglary and shoplifting. This decline is linked to a significant reduction in neighborhood policing, with a nearly 50% drop in community support officers since 2010. The Chief Inspector of Constabulary calls for a focus on restoring neighborhood policing to rebuild trust, welcoming plans to recruit 13,000 more officers in community roles.
