	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/06/2017 answer text <p>The Government is in regular dialogue with the police to ensure that the right powers, capabilities and resources are in place across all areas of policing.</p><p>The 2015 Spending Review protected overall police spending in real terms, and the 2017/18 police funding settlement maintained that protection. Since 2010, police forces have increased the proportion of officers working at the frontline and proven that you can continue to cut crime with a smaller, more agile workforce. Crimes traditionally measured by the independent Crime Survey for England and Wales have fallen by a third since 2010, to a record low.</p><p>Keeping families, communities and our country safe is this Government’s priority, so in addition, we have protected Counter-Terrorism police spend in real terms over the Spending Review period and invested in counter-terrorism policing to grow key capabilities, including providing £144m to increase armed policing capability. We remain committed to increasing cross-government spending on counter-terrorism by 30%, from £11.7 billion to £15.1 billion, including funding an additional 1,900 officers at our security and intelligence agencies.</p><p>We have also continued to protect investment in Regional Organised Crime Units (ROCUs), who deliver specialist capabilities to tackle serious and organised crime on behalf of police forces. The ROCUs play a crucial role in the law enforcement response to SOC, acting as the main interface between the National Crime Agency (NCA) and 43 police forces of England and Wales. Last year saw the largest collective financial investment by Police and Crime Commissioners in ROCUs since they were formed. This should be seen as a strong signal of both the government and policing’s continued commitment to tackling the serious harms caused by SOC to the most vulnerable members of our communities up and down the country.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd grouped question UIN 585 question first answered 27/06/2017 10:17:55 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 11/09/2018 answer text <p>Police officers in England and Wales regularly interact with people who may be experiencing mental ill health. Some such interactions may result in the need to remove a person to a place of safety under section 136 of the Mental Health Act 1983. Data on such detentions were collected by the Home Office on a mandatory basis for the first time in 2016/17, and are published as part of the ‘Police powers and procedures, England and Wales’ statistical bulletin, which can be accessed here: <a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/police-powers-and-procedures-england-and-wales-year-ending-31-march-2017" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/police-powers-and-procedures-england-and-wales-year-ending-31-march-2017</a>.</p><p>In response to Home Office enquiries earlier this year, police forces in England and Wales provided a range of information about the numbers of cases they had identified that may involve a person experiencing mental ill health, either by means of a mental health flag or through dip sampling. Data on these cases is not routinely collected by the Home Office.</p><p>The Home Office has not estimated the cost of police involvement in cases where the person may be experiencing mental ill health. Given the wide variety of circumstances in which police may come into contact with someone who has mental health issues it is not practicable to separate out mental health related aspects from other policing responsibilities in respect of each case.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 11/09/2018 16:08:41 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd
