Dear Jason Smith,
Can I please seek some clarification on this request as it seems to contradict itself.
The first part says Authorised Officers aren't included in the 1800 but the second paragraph says it includes 250 Authorised Officers.
Which one is it?
Yours sincerely,
Mr J Stewart
From: Jason Smith
Dear J Stewart
Both statements are correct.
The Government has committed to graduate 1800 new recruits from the Police College. This number excludes authorised officers.
There is also a commitment by the Government to increase the number of frontline police by 1800, on top of attrition of existing staff. This number will include 250 authorised officers. Since their inception, authorised officers have been included in the number of serving officers.
