English: Thank you very much indeed, Jack Sargeant, and thank you for your long-standing commitment to PCSOs and for representing your constituents, who often are at the sharp end, for many of the reasons that Peredur also commented on in terms of inadequate support and the strong policing that we need to protect those communities. Our PCSOs are vitally important, because they are stepping in. It makes the case, doesn't it, for the devolution of policing, because they are there at the sharp end of intervention, prevention and engagement, and then ensuring that criminal justice is delivered to your constituents in your communities. Yes, there are fewer police officers than there were in 2010, when austerity started. And yes, also, where are the extra 20,000 police officers in England and Wales? You will recall, and you've commented on it, Operation Uplift. That was the Home Office's scheme to employ those extra 20,000 police officers. I was just checking, and by 2023, police numbers will remain below pre-austerity levels. In 2010, there were 7,369 police officers in Wales; by 2019, it had fallen to 6,898. We lost 471 police officers, and yet still we've only got 302 recruited. What has happened to these extra 20,000 police officers in England and Wales? This is a truly important priority of this Welsh Labour Government. We will progress it with the support that we have here for the devolution of policing and making sure that policing does reach our communities that are at the sharp end of the cost-of-living crisis brought on by this Tory Government, ensuring that they get the support and safety that they need.
Welsh: Diolch yn fawr iawn i chi, Jack Sargeant, a diolch i chi am eich ymrwymiad hirsefydlog i swyddogion cymorth cymunedol yr heddlu ac am gynrychioli eich etholwyr, sydd yn aml yn y rheng flaen, am lawer o'r rhesymau y soniodd Peredur amdanyn nhw hefyd o ran cymorth annigonol a'r plismona cryf rydym ni ei angen i ddiogelu'r cymunedau hynny. Mae ein swyddogion cymorth cymunedol yr heddlu yn hanfodol bwysig, oherwydd maen nhw'n camu i mewn i'r adwy. Mae'n dadlau'r achos, onid yw, ar gyfer datganoli plismona, oherwydd maen nhw yno ar flaen y gad o ran ymyrryd, atal ac ymgysylltu, ac yna sicrhau bod cyfiawnder troseddol yn cael ei ddarparu i'ch etholwyr yn eich cymunedau. Oes, mae llai o swyddogion yr heddlu nag yr oedd yn 2010, pan ddechreuodd cyni. Ac ie, hefyd, ble mae'r 20,000 o swyddogion yr heddlu ychwanegol yng Nghymru a Lloegr? Byddwch chi'n cofio, ac rydych chi wedi gwneud sylwadau arno, Ymgyrch Uplift. Dyna oedd cynllun y Swyddfa Gartref i gyflogi'r 20,000 o swyddogion yr heddlu ychwanegol. Rydw i newydd wirio, ac erbyn 2023, bydd niferoedd yr heddlu'n parhau i fod yn is na'r lefelau cyn cyni. Yn 2010, roedd 7,369 o swyddogion yr heddlu yng Nghymru; erbyn 2019, roedd wedi gostwng i 6,898. Collwyd 471 o swyddogion yr heddlu, ac eto dim ond 302 sydd gennym ni wedi'u recriwtio. Beth sydd wedi digwydd i'r 20,000 o swyddogion yr heddlu ychwanegol hyn yng Nghymru a Lloegr? Mae hon yn flaenoriaeth wirioneddol bwysig i'r Llywodraeth Lafur hon yng Nghymru. Byddwn yn bwrw ymlaen gyda hyn gyda'r gefnogaeth sydd gennym ni yma i ddatganoli plismona a sicrhau bod plismona'n cyrraedd ein cymunedau sydd ar flaen y gad yn yr argyfwng costau byw a ddaw yn sgil y Llywodraeth Dorïaidd hon, gan sicrhau eu bod yn cael y gefnogaeth a'r diogelwch maen nhw eu hangen.
