More than 1,800 police officers recruited under Boris Johnson’s 20,000 pledge have already quitRecord number of officers resigning over pay, conditions and ‘mismatch’ between expectation and reality of job More than 1,800 police officers hired as part of Boris Johnson’s pledge to recruit 20,000 extra constables by 2023 have already quit, figures show.The real number is believed to be much higher, amid warnings over recruits leaving policing over pay, conditions and a “mismatch” between their expectations and the reality of the job.In his first speech as prime minister in July 2019, Mr Johnson vowed he would put “another 20,000 police on the streets” by the end of March.The Home Office says it is on track to achieve the target, with more than 15,000 extra officers recruited by October.But there are concerns that it will not be reached, with official figures showing that an average of 776 officers a month will have to be recruited across England and Wales to hit the target. The average between April and September was 406 a month.Figures obtained in Freedom of Information requests by the i newspaper show that at least 1,837 of those officers who joined under the uplift have already voluntarily resigned.The real number is likely to be significantly higher, as 19 of the 43 forces in England and Wales failed to provide data.Among them was the Metropolitan Police, which is the UK’s largest force and was tasked with recruiting the greatest number of officers.In October, commissioner Sir Mark Rowley said it may not be “possible or wise” to hit its target, because Scotland Yard needed to ensure the quality of recruits and ensure it was “bringing the right people in” following a series of scandals and the murder of Sarah Everard.
