<p>The College of Policing sets the standards for training and professional develop-ment
for police forces in England and Wales. Initial training, which all new recruits must
complete to the required standards, includes a specific module on awareness of the
powers and policies related to mental health issues, recognising signs and symptoms
and understanding the police role. The subject is also integrated throughout the rest
of the programme.</p><p>Subsequent professional development for serving police officers
is the responsibility of Chief Constables and Police and Crime Commissioners and information
on training undertaken by officers is not held centrally by the Home Office.</p>
