We recognise that specialist skills and knowledge is critical to ensuring rape and sexual offence cases are progressed and managed effectively.<\/p>

Operation Soteria, a joint policing and CPS programme established as part of the Rape Review Action Plan to develop new national operating models for the investigation and prosecution of rape, has highlighted the importance of specialist knowledge. The Home Office, National Police Chiefs\u2019 Council (NPCC) and College of Policing have established a new Operation Soteria Joint Unit which is working with every police force in England and Wales to support them to successfully implement the National Operating Model.<\/p>

2,000 police officers will receive specialist training on investigating these horrific crimes by April. This will mean more officers building stronger cases and placing victims at the heart of their response.<\/p>

The deployment of officers, however, is a matter for Chief Constables and the Home Office does not hold data on the number of police forces with specialist rape and serious sexual offences units.<\/p>"} , "answeringMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4503", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Chris Philp"} } , "answeringMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Croydon South"} , "answeringMemberPrinted" : {"_value" : "Chris Philp"} , "dateOfAnswer" : {"_value" : "2024-01-26", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "isMinisterialCorrection" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "questionFirstAnswered" : [{"_value" : "2024-01-26T16:16:51.767Z", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} ]} , "answeringDeptId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "answeringDeptShortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "answeringDeptSortName" : {"_value" : "Home Office"} , "date" : {"_value" : "2024-01-17", "_datatype" : "dateTime"} , "hansardHeading" : {"_value" : "Police: Sexual Offences"} , "houseId" : {"_value" : "1"} , "legislature" : [{"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/terms/25259", "prefLabel" : {"_value" : "House of Commons"} } ], "questionText" : "To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, how many police forces have a specialist rape and serious sexual offences unit in Wales.", "registeredInterest" : {"_value" : "false", "_datatype" : "boolean"} , "tablingMember" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/members/4716", "label" : {"_value" : "Biography information for Ruth Jones"} } , "tablingMemberConstituency" : {"_value" : "Newport West"} , "tablingMemberPrinted" : [{"_value" : "Ruth Jones"} ], "uin" : "10307"} , {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1329721", "AnsweringBody" : [{"_value" : "Department of Health and Social Care"} ], "answer" : {"_about" : "http://data.parliament.uk/resources/1329721/answer", "answerText" : {"_value" : "
