PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Police: Safety (5 December 2016)

Guidance for officer safety is currently set out in the Personal Safety Manual, created by Association of Chief Police Officers. The College of Policing is responsible for reviewing and updating this guidance. The College also sets standards for the learning, delivery and assessment of personal safety training delivered by forces. The training covers tactical communications, self-defence and restraint that can be used by officers on their own or working with other officers. It remains the responsibility of Chief Constables, working with directly elected police and crime commissioners, to manage and support the police workforce effectively, ensuring the welfare of all officers and staff.
