A courageous Avon & Somerset police officer has spoken out about being the victim of domestic abuse.
Police to receive more than £15 billion to fight crime and recruit more officers
The funding package for 2021 to 2022 will include more than £400 million to continue recruitment of 20,000 extra officers.

Policing will receive up to £15.8 billion to build back safer and cut crime, the government will announce today.
The 2021 to 2022 funding package will include over £400 million to recruit 20,000 extra officers by 2023, building on the success of the first year of the recruitment campaign – which has already delivered almost 6,000 additional police officers.
Alongside getting more officers out on the street, the funding settlement will enable policing to tackle serious violence and increase the number of specialist officers tackling terrorism and serious organised crime, including child sexual abuse and drug trafficking.
