Claim: £300 million could put 10,000 police officers on the streets.
Fact-check: Can £300 million pay for 10,000 police officers? - Full Fact
Verdict: probably not. there aren't published estimates for the cost of training and recruiting police officers and labour hasn't substantiated its claim publicly. £300 million would cover those officers' salaries for one year, but it wouldn't cover the costs of training, equipment, and overheads at the same time.
