Question to the Home Office:

To ask Her Majesty’s Government, further to the Written Answer by Lord Bates on 30 October (HL2330), how many police officers in England and Wales will be expected to undertake personal safety training; and how many operational police officers will not be undertaking personal safety training.

Data regarding police officers undertaking, or not undertaking personal safety training is held by individual police forces and is not collated by the Home Office or the College of Policing. National guidance, set by the Association of Chief Police Officers requires all police personnel to undertake personal safety training relevant to their role requirements and to refresh this on an annual basis.
