Boris Johnson's drive to hire 20,000 police officers will 'start within weeks'

Boris Johnson's leadership election pledge to recruit 20,000 extra police officers over the next three years will be put into action within weeks, he is claiming. 

The prime minister says his drive to deliver more frontline officers, which he has made a top priority will start in September with the launch of a national campaign led by the Home Office.

Mr Johnson plans to create a national policing board, chaired by new Home Secretary Priti Patel and including senior police chiefs, to make sure forces meet the recruitment target on time.
