Former chief constable, Steve Ashman expressed fears Northumbria police could soon be unable to provide an adequate police service. Ashman said, "If the day of not being able to provide a professional service was here, I would say it is not here, but it is getting very, very close." Northumbria police received £259.6 million for the year 2017–18 which is up slightly from £259.5M in 2016–17. This small rise is insufficient to compensate for inflation currently at just under 3% per year. Northumbria police experienced a funding cut in real terms. Most Northumbrian police stations now close at 8.00 pm or earlier, and people needing the police after that time must use the telephone or an interactive service.<sup id="cite_ref-12" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-12"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>12<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup><sup id="cite_ref-13" class="reference"><a href="#cite_note-13"><span class="cite-bracket">[</span>13<span class="cite-bracket">]</span></a></sup> </p> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Chief_constables">Chief constables</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Northumbria_Police&action=edit&section=6" title="Edit section: Chief constables"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <ul><li>1943–1946 : Sir <a href="/wiki/Joseph_Simpson_(police_officer)" title="Joseph Simpson (police officer)">Joseph Simpson</a></li> <li>1969–1975 : Clarence Harrington Cooksley</li> <li>1975–1991 : Sir <a href="/wiki/Stanley_Bailey" title="Stanley Bailey">Stanley Ernest Bailey</a></li> <li>1991–1996 : <a href="/wiki/John_Stevens,_Baron_Stevens_of_Kirkwhelpington" title="John Stevens, Baron Stevens of Kirkwhelpington">John Stevens</a></li> <li>1998–2005 : <a href="/wiki/Crispian_Strachan" title="Crispian Strachan">Crispian Strachan</a></li> <li>2005–2010 : Mike Craik</li> <li>2010–2015 : Sue Sim</li> <li>2015–2017 : Stephen Ashman</li> <li>2017–2023 : Winton Keenen</li> <li>2023–present : Vanessa Jardine</li></ul> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Officers_killed_in_the_line_of_duty">Officers killed in the line of duty</h3><span class="mw-editsection"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">[</span><a href="/w/index.php?title=Northumbria_Police&action=edit&section=7" title="Edit section: Officers killed in the line of duty"><span>edit</span></a><span class="mw-editsection-bracket">]</span></span></div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">See also: <a href="/wiki/List_of_British_police_officers_killed_in_the_line_of_duty" title="List of British police officers killed in the line of duty">List of British police officers killed in the line of duty</a></div> <p>The <a href="/wiki/Police_Roll_of_Honour_Trust" title="Police Roll of Honour Trust">Police Roll of Honour Trust</a> and <a href="/wiki/Police_Memorial_Trust" title="Police Memorial Trust">Police Memorial Trust</a> list and commemorate all British police officers killed in the line of duty.
