We will be working with policing to introduce a Neighbourhood Policing Guarantee, restoring patrols to town centres, recruiting thousands of extra police officers, PCSOs and Special Constables, and providing every community with a named local officer to turn to.

These are core aims of the government's mission to take back our streets.The government is also committed to improving police standards by strengthening the police misconduct system and introducing mandatory national vetting standards.
