HC Deb 06 November 1979 vol 973 c100W
Mr. Freud

asked the Secretary of State for the Home Department what is the established strength of the Cambridgeshire police; what is its current strength; and how many of that number come into regular contact with the public.

Mr. Brittan

The establishment was increased from 1,090 to 1,140 on 5 October. The strength on 30 Steptember was 1,086. Of these, 969 work in divisions, in the CID or in the traffic department. Most of these officers have fairly regular contact with members of the public.
