A promise made, a promise kept - and proud to have played my part during my time as Policing Minister to deliver it, having campaigned for more frontline officers when I was on the backbenches.
We've put more police out on the beat, meaning Northamptonshire now has more officers than ever before.
But we will never rest in our vital mission to cut crime and make our streets safer - exactly what people in Corby & East Northamptonshire want to see.
