A BBC report showed that the last time the Government published figures on police officers in neighbourhood roles (July 2024), the figure stood at 13,424. But after a data validation exercise, the amended figure was actually only 10,664 police officers in neighbourhood roles in England and Wales. When the Met Police performed this data validation exercise as per the request from the Government, what was the result and what does this mean for the number of neighbourhood police officers across London?
