Written Question
Monday 6th November 2017
Asked by:
Scott Mann (Conservative - North Cornwall)
Question
to the Home Office:
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what recent steps she has taken to promote and enhance community policing.
Answered by Nick Hurd
The Government believes in local policing, accountable to local communities in line with local needs and priorities. That is why we abolished all central Government targets and put local people in charge by introducing directly elected police and crime commissioners.
The Home Secretary announced that £175m would be allocated to the Police Transformation Fund (PTF) for the 2017/18 financial year. The PTF provides PCCs with a real opportunity to transform policing and invest in digitalisation, a diverse and flexible workforce, and new and more efficient capabilities to respond to changing crimes and threats. It will incentivise policing to meet future challenges by being more efficient and effective, and build capability to respond to a changing crime mix.
