<p>Operation Safeguard is a contingency measure that provides additional headroom
for use if prisoners cannot be accepted from the courts or police custody. It is a
temporary measure to provide a short-term solution. When Operation Safeguard is active,
tactical and operational governance reviews take place at regular intervals, as agreed
with police partners.</p><p> </p><p>There are no additional costs to the taxpayer
and any spend under Operation Safeguard comes from within existing departmental budgets.
Every aspect of Operation Safeguard – including compensation for cells – is based
on agreements between HMPPS, the police and the Home Office. Spend is recorded on
a cost-recovery basis.</p><p> </p><p>Please see table below setting out payments to
police forces in England and Wales for the activation of Operation Safeguard cells
