I was pleased to meet recently with the new Police Federation COO, Mukund Krishna, to hear more about his plans for the role and current policing concerns around pay and officer retention, how to better promote and recognise the good work that the Police do day in, day out, and how we can ensure the Government's important '20,000 new officers' commitment is seen through to its conclusion, given the importance of officer visibility and neighbourhood policing to communities such as ours here in Corby & East Northamptonshire.
