<p>At a time when we are increasing investment in policing and the police are actively
recruiting, the police constable degree apprenticeship is an important addition to
the way forces recruit. It is also an attractive opportunity for people who want to
earn while they learn in a valuable and exciting job.</p><p>That is why the Government
stepped in earlier this year to provide £600k short-term funding to allow Welsh forces
to proceed with recruiting and training new officers through this important route.</p><p>While
this funding has helped Welsh forces to put provision in place during the current
financial year, the UK Government clearly wants to ensure the best possible outcome
for forces across England and Wales. We are working with our partners across Government,
in the College of Policing, Welsh Government and Welsh forces to find a long-term
solution to this issue.</p>
