Ayoub Khan argued that West Midlands Police lacks the officers and long-term funding needed for visible community policing, while warning that stronger enforcement must not mean racial profiling or miscarriages of justice; the minister pointed to a £36.9m funding rise, targeted serious crime grants and a pledge of 13,000 extra neighbourhood police nationally by the end of the Parliament, but did not resolve calls for wider funding formula reform.
