"People tell me they want to see more police officers and we’re delivering that by continuing to go above and beyond Government uplift targets.
“Indeed, this was the fifth passing out parade we’ve had in recent months, taking our ranks to their highest levels in more than a decade – but it’s not just about numbers.
