00:00 There are no extra resources, there are no extra staff to do these jobs, the police are
00:05 not sitting around on their hands are they? They are all working at the moment. So what
00:11 will go as a result of this? What will they not be investigating?
00:14 Well I disagree with you, there are no extra resources. We've just recruited 20,000 additional
00:21 police officers. So we now have a record...
00:23 You've recruited 20,000 additional police officers, you lost 20,000 police officers
00:27 didn't you from 2010 up to the latest date? So you've lost 20,000, you've gained 23,000,
00:33 so you've gained 3,000. That's wrong. We now have a record number
00:38 of police officers ever... It's the Home Office figures that I have
00:40 here. Ever in the history of policing. Far higher
00:45 than any previous administration. So the police have the greatest number of police officers
00:50 they've ever had at their disposal. We've also...
00:53 I've got the Home Office figures, you've got 149,000 police officers at the moment,
00:57 there were 146 in 2010, so absolutely you have got 3,000 more officers. These are the
01:02 Home Office figures. Yeah, we've got a record number of police
01:06 officers ever in the history of policing. So that's the highest number of men and women
01:12 working on the front line to stop crime and support victims.
