Police: Public Opinion
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to increase public trust and confidence in policing.
Answered by Jess Phillips
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.
