More police and frontline staff 

Cheshire police are set to have a greater number of police officers, as well as more frontline support staff in the Constabulary’s call centre and investigation teams.

120 extra officers will be recruited over the next year, taking the total in Cheshire to 2,347 – the highest in modern times.

More call handlers in the Force Control Centre will be recruited which will hopefully improve 101 and 999 call response times.

The survey on police funding, carried out last month, indicated 70 per cent of just 3,738 respondents said they would be willing to pay more via their council tax in order for the Constabulary to have more resources.
