<p>Decisions on the size, composition and deployment of a police force’s workforce
are operational matters for individual chief constables, taking account of local needs
and circumstances.</p><p>Overall, the Government delivered a good settlement for policing
through last year’s Spending Review, protecting overall police spending in real terms
over the course of the Spending Review period, when local income is taken into account
– an increase of up to £900 million in cash terms by 2019/20.</p><p>The public should
therefore be in no doubt that the police will have the resources they need to keep
the public safe and to respond to new threats rapidly and effectively.</p>
