Police: Standards

Asked by Ben Obese-JectyConservativeHome OfficeTabled Answered 9 June 2025UIN 55247

The question

To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, when the Police and Crime Performance Unit will be fully operational.

Answered by Dame Diana Johnson

Since 5 December 2024, when My Rt Hon Friend, the Prime Minister, announced the Government’s Plan for Change, we have been working closely with the sector to draw up a new Police Performance Framework to ensure standards are upheld across the country. We have also been working to establish a new Unit within the Home Office, which will identify and support force-level improvements.

Further details will be published in the forthcoming Police Reform White Paper.
