Neighbourhood Policing
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, with reference to page 34 of the policy paper entitled Plan for Change: Milestones for mission-led government, published on 5 December 2024, CP1210, how she plans to measure the success of the neighbourhood policing guarantee; and if she will publish data on (a) police visibility and (b) public satisfaction at the community level.
Answered by Dame Diana Johnson
We are currently in the process of devising a new performance framework for neighbourhood policing to improve standards and performance across the country. We are engaging with police forces, the College of Policing and National Police Chiefs’ Council to agree the content of the performance framework, including assessing which measures are available nationally and at the local level.
The Guarantee and associated performance framework will ensure everyone, regardless of where they live, receives strengthened and more consistent neighbourhood policing.
