Good morning. The Police and Crime Commissioner for Devon and Cornwall, Alison Hernandez, has reported that her department has received a grant of £4.7 million from the ѿý Office.
With this funding, she intends to recruit 110 new officers. Of these, there will be 45 police officers, 55 Community Support Officers, and 10 special constable volunteers.
As a result, there will be more officers seen on the streets of Cornwall, working in neighbourhood police teams.
Ms Hernandes said that the funding was “fantastic news” and that the new officers would “improve confidence and reduce crime”.
"They will be visible and accessible within our villages, towns and cities tackling antisocial behaviour and local crime," said Assistant Chief Constable Glen Mayhew.

A 143-year-old Cornish lugger has been recognised at the Classic Boat Awards in London.
At the ceremony, the lugger, which is called Barnabas, was crowned Centenarian of the Year, and its captain, Toby Floyer, said that Cornwall could be “immensely proud of the award”.
Barnabas is owned by the Cornish Maritime Trust, and you can see it in Newlyn harbour.
At the end of the 19th century, there were about 1,000 luggers registered at Cornish ports, but Barnabas is the last of them.
However, it’s still hard at work. Last year, Barnabas completed a 1,400 mile voyage to four Celtic nations, Scotland, Wales, Ireland and Man, and raised £20,000 to renew the masts and spars.

Good morning. A museum in Cornwall has celebrated the 165th birthday of Cornish heroine, Emily Hobhouse.
Emily grew up in St Ive, near Liskeard, where her father was a vicar and the first Archdeacon of Bodmin.
During the Boer War, she saved the lives of many women and children held in British concentration camps in South Africa. However, her work was not recognised in Great Britain where she was seen as a traitor.
The celebrations were held in her former home in St Ive, and a new bust of Emily was unveiled.
Emily died in London in 1926, and her ashes are buried in a statue in South Africa.
And that’s all from me for this week. Until next time!
