Major recruitment drive will put more police on the streets
Press release published on 4 April 2019
More than 200 new officers will be recruited by Northamptonshire Police over the next two years, taking the Force to more than 1300 police officers for the first time since 2010. Taking into account those who retire or leave each year, this means that there will be nearly 100more police officers on the streets of Northamptonshire in two years’ time. The ambition set out today (April 4) would see a significant growth in police numbers that will increase the Force establishment from 1227 police officers to 1310 – the greatest number of officers the Force has had since 2010.
