Trump UK visit: police to mobilise in numbers not seen since 2011 riots
One chief constable said: “There is concern nationally about how we will keep the show on the road.†Anotheradded: “These are eye-watering numbers. It’s a bit rich for the government to demand this when all they’ve done is cut our numbers since 2010.â€
The government reduced police funding by 18% when Theresa May was home secretary in 2010, leading to a reduction of 20,000 officers over the intervening years.
