The announcement from the police authority chairman Robert Chambers came on Monday evening as part of a five-year plan to increase officer numbers.
Mr Chambers said: "We are delighted to support these plans which will undoubtedly give the public an improved service, a better customer experience when they contact us and an increased presence on our streets."
Chief Constable of Essex police, Roger Baker said: "Essex is a low crime area, but one crime is one too many and we will do everything possible to reduce incidents and provide vital reassurance to our communities by increasing our visibility.
