PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Police: Public Opinion (23 July 2024)

Question Asked

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to increase public trust and confidence in policing.

Asked by:
John Slinger (Labour)

Answer

It is essential that the public can have confidence in the police; the government has committed to restoring confidence in policing to record levels, alongside halving violence against women and girls and halving knife crime over a decade. These are core aims of the government's mission to take back our streets.

The government is also committed to improving police standards by strengthening the police misconduct system and introducing mandatory national vetting standards.
