as a Major reforms in policing In England and Wales on Monday, Shabana Mahmood Can speak police It is expected to arrive at the scene of the most serious accident within 15 minutes in cities and 20 minutes in rural areas.
The most serious incidents include danger to life, serious injury to persons or serious damage to property, and the use of violence or immediate threat of violence. They will also include situations where a crime is in progress or a criminal has just been discovered at the scene.
Ms Mahmoud will set new targets for the police force to ensure standards are the same across the country. She said: “Everyday crime is on the rise across the country, often without consequences.
“People report crimes and then wait hours or even days for a response. By the time police arrive, the perpetrators and witnesses are long gone.”
Comprehensive policing reforms will be unveiled in a white paper released on Monday. Ms Mahmoud has announced the establishment of a New National Police Service (NPS), dubbed ‘Britain’s FBI’which will take over responsibilities for counter-terrorism, fraud and organized crime investigations.
Ms Mahmoud said the establishment of the super force would free up local forces to tackle everyday crime. Counter-terrorism policing is currently the responsibility of the Metropolitan Police, the national air service is the responsibility of West Yorkshire Police and the national road policing is the responsibility of Sussex Police.
These national investigations will be handled by the new NPS, which will also take on the work of the National Crime Agency (NCA).
The government is also expected to significantly reduce the number of police officers from the current 43. Police officers in England and Wales will need to hold a license to continue working under the new plan.
officials must Renew your “license to practice” throughout your career Receive timely and specific training, such as on addressing violence against women and girls.
Responding to the Home Office’s targets for answering 999 calls and dealing with serious crime, Neighborhood Watch chief executive John Hayward-Cripps said: “The data shows there are real differences in the extent to which different forces respond to incidents. The effectiveness of the police, and the trust we have in them, is built on the relationships they build and maintain with the public.”
“It is therefore a welcome step for the Government to introduce national standards and, most importantly, the resources required to meet them.”
