West Yorkshire Police's chief constable says 'there's not enough people' for neighbourhood policing.
West Yorkshire Police chief constable John Robins says "there's just not enough people" for the neighbourhood policing levels people hope forThe chief constable of West Yorkshire Police has said the force does not have the resources it needs to deliver the service the public expects from it.
It is down 2,000 staff and £140m since 2010, he said, comparing its budget to the household cost of living crisis.Speaking to BBC Radio Leeds, Mr Robins said the force knew how to do neighbourhood policing "really well" but "there's just not enough people in it". "But as you go down the list of issues, when you get towards visibility, engagement, patrols, neighbourhood policing, that's the one that comes under the most pressure."
"It's like your household budget, through cost of living and mortgage increases people haven't got the money that they want to live their life with," he said.
