Prisons: Civil Disorder
(asked on 30th January 2018) - View Source
Question to the Ministry of Justice:
To ask the Secretary of State for Justice on how many occasions Gold Command was called out to prisons in each month since January 2017; and what the incidents were for which it was called out.
The GOLD Command function is dedicated to the task of supporting, resourcing and assisting establishments resolve serious incidents that may have occurred.
Gold Command oversight ensures the strategy and tactics of the establishment incident commander (Silver) are in line with HMPPS policy and do not affect the stability of other establishments.
The opening of Gold Command can be for a variety of reasons, and not necessarily linked to violence, and has the ability to provide resource that is not available at a local level, for example the strategic supply of extra staffing resource.
The Gold Command suite was opened 42 times in 2017 and has opened 3 times to date this year:
