<p>The Crime Survey for England and Wales data shows a 56% fall in domestic burglaries
when comparing the year ending September 2023 with year ending March 2010. This is
clearly good news; however, we recognise the impact domestic burglary can have on
individuals and communities and we are committed to tackling and preventing this crime.</p><p>The
public rightly expects that the police will visit them when a home burglary has been
committed, which is why we welcome the announcement made by the National Police Chiefs’
Council (NPCC) on 8 June 2023 that all 43 police forces in England and Wales have
been implementing this attendance policy since March 2023. https://news.npcc.police.uk/releases/police-now-attending-scene-of-every-home-burglary.</p><p>The
police commitment to attend home burglaries is supported by specific College of Policing
good practice guidance on conducting residential burglary investigations: https://www.college.police.uk/guidance/residential-burglary.</p><p>We
continue to liaise with Humberside Police and the NPCC who play a key role in tackling
burglary through an array of different forums, including the Residential Burglary
Taskforce and the National Policing Board. We are also working with police leaders
across England and Wales to ensure forces are making their attendance data available
to the public.</p><p>HMICFRS will be doing an inspection on Investigations shortly.</p>
