It comes after the Labour government announced new measures on neighbourhood policing.
Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer said he wanted to end the policing "postcode lottery" by ensuring every community had dedicated teams of officers focused on patrolling town centres at peak times in England and Wales.
The government is aiming to put named local officers into each neighbourhood and boost police ranks by 13,000 by 2029.
But police forces across the country are facing severe financial challenges, with some warning of cuts to existing officers this year.
Conservative shadow home secretary Chris Philp said Labour must give the police the resources they need and linked potential job cuts to the rise in employer national insurance contributions.
"Thanks to Labour's jobs tax, our police services face a £118m shortfall, putting over 1,800 police jobs at risk," Philp said.
A Reform UK spokesman said the party wanted to see "officers spending their time doing real work".
The spokesman said forces had wasted "millions in employing diversity and inclusion staff instead of focusing on front-line policing".
Green Party MP Sian Berry said community police officers were dealing with a "flood of work" after "cuts to other vital frontline services".
