answer text <p>The Home Office has not issued any such guidance. The management of public order is an operational matter for the police. Guidance on public order policing is contained in the police’s Authorised Professional Practice. <br><br>In July 2012, the Home Secretary issued the Strategic Policing Requirement (SPR). <br><br>This sets out the strategic threats that are of such gravity as to be of national importance or can only be countered effectively and efficiently through national policing capabilities. Public order is one of these threats. Chief Constables are required to have regard to the SPR when exercising their responsibilities. Police and Crime Commissioners are required to hold Chief Constables to account for the delivery of the SPR and should have regard to the SPR when producing their police and crime plans.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p> </p><p> </p><p>Combating cyber crime is a core part of the National Cyber Security Strategy, <br>which is underpinned by the National Cyber Security Programme (NCSP) and £860 <br>million of investment over five years. The Government has so far committed £70 <br>million of NCSP funding to build law enforcement capabilities to tackle cyber <br>crime. This includes the establishment of the National Cyber Crime Unit in the <br>National Crime Agency (NCA), and cyber teams within each of the Regional <br>Organised Crime Units across England and Wales. <br><br>Almost every cyber crime investigation has an international element and as a <br>result the NCA has prioritised building partnerships with key international <br>partners to better tackle this common cyber threat. To this end, and as a <br>result of NCSP investment, the NCA has deployed a number of International <br>Liaison Officers overseas. The NCA, EU and other international partners (US, <br>New Zealand, Australia and Canada) have agreed common threats and goals which <br>are informing the development of a model for proactive global joint cyber <br>investigations. An example of this approach is the recent US-led investigation <br>into a serious malware threat which saw the UK, under Project TOVAR, play a key <br>role in the disruption of criminal infrastructure and prevention messaging to <br>UK to businesses and the public. Project DISPUTED is an NCA-led investigation <br>which targets the Shylock malware variant, a sophisticated system employed by <br>criminals to steal online banking credentials, targeting the UK banking sector <br>in particular. This is the first project of its kind for a UK law enforcement <br>agency and involves the NCA bringing together partners from across law <br>enforcementand the private sector, including the FBI, Europol and others.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>

answer text <p>The National Crime Agency has identified a gap in existing legislation which means law enforcement agencies are not always able to act where it is suspected that modern slavery offences are being committed at sea. If law enforcement officers have to wait for vessels to return to UK territorial waters or to a UK port before they can take action to tackle suspected modern slavery, this can expose victims to extended periods of abuse and risk to life. This is an unacceptable situation which this Government is determined to put right. <br><br>Clause 13 of the Modern Slavery Bill would empower law enforcement officers to exercise specified powers when investigating modern slavery offences being committed at sea. For UK vessels these powers will be available anywhere at sea, and for stateless and EU vessels they will be available within the UK’s territorial waters.</p><p> </p> more like this

answer text <p> </p><p>Data on the amount of police time spent in accident and emergency departments accompanying people with mental illness is not collected by the Home Department.<br><br>Various studies have attempted to quantify the amount of police time spent dealing with mental health issues, which may include officers’ attendance in accident and emergency departments. Officers from the Metropolitan Police Service estimated (for the Independent Commission on Mental Health and Policing, published in May 2013) that mental health issues accounted for at least 20 per cent of police time. <br><br>The Mental Health Crisis Care Concordat, published by the Government in February 2014, makes clear the standard of response that people experiencing a mental health crisis should expect. The Concordat includes an action for the Home Office, with policing partners and Public Health England, to develop a toolkit to enable the police to quantify the demand for responses to people in mental health crisis, including whether they were taken to Accident and Emergency Departments. The toolkit will be tested later this summer by three police forces.</p><p> </p><p> </p><p> </p>
