Police dismissals in England and Wales hit a record high as 461 officers were let go last year — up from 426 the year before and a sharp rise from 164 in 2020. The Met Police alone accounted for over a third of those departures, while voluntary resignations also hit a record high, contributing to a slight overall drop in officer numbers. Meanwhile, the government is ahead of schedule in recruiting neighborhood officers, adding over 3,800 in the past year. But with politicians on both sides blaming each other for cuts or underfunding, the situation remains deeply polarized and complex.
