Original Note:
The claim of 20000 new recruits is factual. It should, however, be noted that the Conservatives cut police numbers by approximately 22000 officers between 2010 and 2017. These new police recruits are replacements for those cut from the force, not extra police officers. https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/police-workforce-england-and-wales-30-september-2022/police-workforce-england-and-wales-30-september-2022#:~:text=As%20at%2030%20September%202022%2C%20there%20were%20142%2C145%20FTE%20police,police%20officers%20in%20September%202021.
