answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/05/2016 answer text <p>Resourcing is an operational matter for individual Chief Constables. We have prioritised child sexual abuse as a national threat in the Strategic Policing Requirement to empower police forces to maximise specialist skills and expertise to prevent offending and resolve cases. This means that police forces must have in place the capabilities they need to protect children from sexual abuse.</p><p>In 2015/16 the Government provided an additional £10 million to the National Crime Agency to create specialist teams to tackle online child sexual exploitation. We have also made available £1.7 million to fund Operation Hydrant, which coordinates the handling of multiple non-recent child sexual abuse investigations specifically concerning institutions or persons of public prominence, and up to £1.5 million to support regional coordinators and analysts to oversee the implementation of the National Policing Plan for tackling child sexual exploitation.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 12/05/2016 09:24:13 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 12/05/2016 answer text <p>The number of full time equivalent police officers employed in traffic policing roles as at 31 March in each of the last 5 years is provided in the tables. Officers with multiple responsibilities are recorded under their primary function or role. Data for 31 March 2015 (the latest period for which figures are available) can also be found in the supplementary tables of the July 2015 police workforce statistics publication:</p><p>https://www.gov.uk/government/uploads/system/uploads/attachment_data/file/444537/police-workforce-supptabs-mar15.ods</p><p>Reclassification of roles within a force can lead to fluctuations in the number of officers in a particular role.</p><p>As HMIC has made clear, there is no simple link between police numbers and crime levels, between numbers and the visibility of police in the community, or between numbers and the quality of service provided.</p><p>Decisions on the size and composition of the police workforce are operational matters for Chief Officers working with their Police and Crime Commissioners and taking into account local priorities. What matters is how officers are deployed, not how many of them there are.</p> answering member constituency Hemel Hempstead answering member printed Mike Penning question first answered 12/05/2016 09:20:38 answering member 1528 label Biography information for Sir Mike Penning
