Constable recruitment problems are, however, most severe and are likely to be
worse this year than last because of:-
a)
Closure of Police Cadet School - Previous source of on average 350 recruits per annum;
b)
Operational ceiling of 11% female officers being reached.
As at 1.11.90 the Force had recruited only 30% of the target to that date. The actual figures are:
