Shadow police minister: ‘We need a proper workforce plan for policing’

Shadow minister for policing Sarah Jones (pictured) says there is “a huge job to be done” to work with police staff and officers to fix the problems within the service. 
Since coming into post in 2020, Ms Jones has spent time visiting police forces across the country, listening to staff, PCSOs and officers – many of whom are UNISON members – on the challenges they’re facing. The most pressing issues she says, relate to the workforce, pay and budget restraints.
