With 20,000 new officers due to enter the force over the next few years, questions are naturally being asked about how prepared they are for this influx. After all, after nearly a decade of austerity, it will be a challenge for forces to cope with the demands of this much-needed boost. These new officers will not be entering the same environment their counterparts were enjoying prior to austerity. For example, many police stations have been sold off or mothballed, so where will these new officers operate from? Are there even enough lockers for them to store their kit?
