Humberside Police loses 56 officers as jobs freeze takes effect

Humberside Police lost 56 police officers in six months, new figures have revealed.

A recruitment freeze in place at the force meant 56 officers who retired or left between March and September 2010 were not replaced.

Chief Constable Tim Hollis previously told the Mail the freeze will be in place for up to three years.

Figures released by the Home Office show the force employed 1,961 officers in September, compared to 2,028 in March. In September 2009, the force had 2,071 officers.
