	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 10/03/2020 answer text <p>The College of Policing issued advice on stalking or harassment crimes to police first responders in April 2019, which makes clear that Police Information Notices (PINs) will no longer be used in stalking or harassment cases.</p><p>In April and again in September 2019, Deputy Chief Constable Paul Mills, the National Police Chiefs’ Council Lead on Stalking or Harassment, wrote to all Chief Constables, inviting them, if they had not done so before, to consider withdrawing PINs within their policing area with immediate effect. He also asked them, once PINs had been withdrawn, to satisfy themselves that PINs or their equivalent were not still being used by officers when responding to stalking or harassment offences. I understand that all police forces have now stopped using PINs.</p><p>As PINs were a non-legislative tool, responsibility for any appeals process against previously issued PINs sits with individual Chief Constables.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 10/03/2020 17:01:05 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse

	answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 30/07/2020 answer text <p>Racism, in any form, is abhorrent and has no place in our society.</p><p>In this country, the power of the police to fulfil their duties is wholly dependent on their ability to secure public support for their actions and behaviour and to maintain public respect. Police forces that reflect the communities they serve are crucial to tackling crime and maintaining public trust and confidence in a modern diverse society. The police have worked hard to improve equality and diversity in policing - the workforce is more diverse than ever before, but there is still much more to be done.</p><p>We continue to work with the College of Policing to support forces in their efforts to address under-representation in the recruitment, retention and progression of officers, including those from BAME backgrounds. Our drive to recruit 20,000 officers over the next three years gives us a significant opportunity to attract a wide range of people into a career in policing and support the police to achieve this aim.</p><p>We have also ensured that there is greater transparency and accountability in many areas of policing and continue the drive for improvements. If there is a death or serious injury following contact with the police, or if there are allegations of racially aggravated misconduct, these matters must be referred to the independent police “watchdog”, the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC). In February of this year, the Government implemented reforms to provide the IOPC with a power to investigate serious police conduct matters on its own initiative.</p><p>However, we know that we cannot be complacent and we continue to work across policing to ensure that those we trust to protect us meet the high standards of professional conduct expected by the public.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 30/07/2020 14:44:36 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
