Deferred
Following successful delivery of the Police Uplift Programme, the Government has continued to work with forces to support the commitment to maintain officer numbers at Uplift levels. It is important that each police force has an effective workforce plan in place, to meet current and future needs. The Home Office continues to work closely with policing partners nationally as they seek to build on the success of the Uplift in developing longer term workforce plans.
