Surrey Police has surpassed its target for recruiting extra officers.

Over 300 have joined the force’s ranks since 2019: 51 more than required.

Home Office figures show there were 2,226 police officers for Surrey in December, up 4% on the year before.

A three year-long Government programme, which aimed to recruit an extra 20,000 officers to forces nationwide, ended last week.
