Chief Constable Craig Guildford, who oversaw the passing out parade, said: “We are delighted to be welcoming more officers into our policing family.

"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.

“I am committed to ensuring Nottinghamshire Police continues to make great strides in becoming more representative of the communities we serve, which is why I was pleased to see our latest recruits come from all kinds of backgrounds.
