To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many additional police officers have been recruited to Sussex Police since December 2019.
Kit Malthouse
Minister of State (Ministry of Justice and Home Office)
We are delivering on the people’s priorities by recruiting an additional 20,000 police officers by March 2023.
Police Uplift data is published quarterly and the latest release covers recruitment data from the start of the Programme in October 2019 to September 2020.
At 30 September 2020, Sussex Police had recruited 129 additional officers through the Police Uplift Programme and has therefore met its year one uplift allocation. The force also recruited 40 additional officers through other means during this period.
I am extremely grateful to those brave men and women who have signed up to join the police and keep our communities safe.

Secretary of State was originally the title given to the two officials who conducted the Royal Correspondence under Elizabeth I. Now it is the title held by some of the more important Government Ministers, for example the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs.
