The Government is clear that all use of force in prison and police custody \u2013 or any other setting \u2013 must be lawful, necessary, proportionate and conducted as safely as is possible. If officers need to use force, it is right that they are expected to account for their actions.<\/p>
We are committed to improving transparency and accountability on the police use of force, which is why in 2014 the then Home Secretary asked former CC David Shaw (Chief Constable for West Mercia until July 2016) to lead a review into what data should be recorded and published. The review reported in 2015 and recommended the police record and publish the ethnicity, age, location and outcome for all incidents where a reasonable level of force is used, including physical restraint, less lethal weapons and firearms.<\/p>
All police forces in England and Wales have been working to implement this data collection system from April 2017. All forces are expected to publish their record level use of force data for the first time this summer. A subset of this use of force data will also form part of the Home Office 2017-18 Annual Data Requirement, which will be published on GOV.UK in summer 2018.<\/p>"}

Collaboration is a key tool in helping the police become more responsive, more efficient and more effective at tackling crime. Police and Crime Commissioners and Chief Constables now have a statutory duty to consider and review collaboration agreements with other forces. The Government, through the police transformation fund, has also invested in collaborative projects as well as funding to champion a better understanding of crime in rural areas.<\/p>
The election of Police and Crime Commissioners has given communities, including those in rural areas, a strong voice in determining how police resources are allocated to tackle the crimes that matter most to them.<\/p>"}
