“As a force we know policing success isn’t just about numbers, it’s much more complicated, and we are working hard to ensure that our officers are supported by appropriate working practices, planning and leadership.”

Police and Crime Commissioner Barry Coppinger added: “This recruitment campaign is welcome news to the communities of Cleveland.

“In every meeting I attend police officer visibility is the most requested need, it’s fundamental to keeping people safe and as a result forms a key part of my Police and Crime Plan.

“The Chief Constable must ensure he has the maximum number of officers available to him within the constraints of the funding situation we face. I will continue to use feedback from the community to ensure officers are put to best use.”
