This trust is crucial to our model of policing by consent and why we continue to take steps to ensure police officers are subject to rigorous vetting procedures and held to the highest professional standards. Last year, we legislated to carry out a major overhaul of the police complaints and discipline systems to increase their accountability, transparency and efficiency. These reforms included further measures to increase the effectiveness of the Independent Office for Police Conduct. We continue to keep these matters under review.</p> answering member constituency North West Hampshire answering member printed Kit Malthouse question first answered 19/03/2021 14:11:02 answering member 4495 label Biography information for Kit Malthouse
