Here’s a summary of both ratio’s of police in relation to population…even in London where the Met has the best so to speak ratio in the country (excluding City of London as an anomaly) you can see why police capacity cannot meet demand…by 2025 we should have circa 200k police relative to demand

Trouble with these statistics is they don’t reflect the actual picture when you determine frontline deployed officers only…they also cover all ranks right up to the chief…this is how it pans out in reality when shifts & abstractions etc are factored in per 100k of population or per head

Add ‘If I was a Foreign Affairs Official’ by anybody on social media to a new series of books that could satirically sum up modern society…everybody can say something but it’s largely nothing…often just uniformed opinion or thoughts out loud…it’s like a cat 🐈 walking across a piano keyboard! 🎹 🙉

Predicting this will be the biggest selling book of 2025

The other detail to pick up on here is the ‘new’ structure of NPT’s…currently set geographically around electoral wards but changed now to parliamentary constituencies…they are bigger & therefore more populated…so here’s the break down of how it might look if done this way (*CoLP is an anomaly btw)

I had a look at this 13k target across the 3 types pre-election and how each of the 43 forces would fare if it’s based on the same allocation formula as Uplift was…it’s very likely to be the same as linked to the (out of date & sync) funding formula and this is how it pans out

The 13,000 uplift will play out like this according to my calculations based on proportions linked to the previous Tory govt Uplift and the current funding formula…so this is who will get what across 43 police forces (achieved over a 3 year before that target is reached)

I also broke it down into how many neighbourhood police officers/staff will be assigned to the ‘new’ constituency model it’s planned on that’s different from the previous/current electoral wards model…constituencies are bigger than wards so a bigger population vs officer ratio here

I had a look at this pre-election and how this will all pan out numbers wise…based on the same 20k Uplift proportions and linked to the current funding formula ratio’s this is who is likely to get what across the 43 forces…is it enough?

The 13,000 neighbourhood police plan is back in the news today…I took a look a while back at how this will pan out and the table here shows who will (very likely) get how many and based on the 20k Uplift by the previous govt relative to the current funding formula

Although it changes in terms of sheer numbers when you do this for frontline deployed roles only (response, NPT, Ops roles…using HO classifications)

The most well off when looking at officers per 100k population as well (all ranks)

Well I was going to have a sit down for a few minutes as haven’t stopped all day…but…somebody is too comfortable…so maybe later eh

Post a picture you took (no description) to bring some zen to the timeline
