AI Summary
Cleveland Police's Chief Constable Victoria Fuller says her force is being let down by its funding model and needs to become part of a larger strategic force with greater resources. She made the comments after a fatal crash that killed seven people, including two of her officers, noting the force deals with some of the highest crime levels in the country but with fewer than half the number of officers of metropolitan forces. The home secretary has since announced an extra £2 million and 200 additional officers for the force.
