uin	128959
answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 27/02/2018 answer text <p>The Government understands the distress that can be caused by the theft of a pet. We expect the police to record these crimes when they are reported to them so that they can determine how best to investigate. The National Crime Recording Standard and Home Office Counting Rules set out guidance that forces should adhere to when recording crimes. Each force has a crime registrar to oversee their crime recording. Registrars are trained and accredited for this role by the College of Policing. It must, however, be for Chief Constables and Police and Crime Commissioners, as operational leaders and elected local representatives, to decide how best to deploy resources to manage and respond to individual crimes and local crime priorities.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 27/02/2018 11:53:06 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2017 answer text <p>In April 2013, the Home Office introduced the new outcomes framework, replacing ‘detections’. This new framework provides greater transparency on how all crimes recorded by the police are dealt with. The previous detections framework gave a partial picture of the work police do to investigate and resolve crime.</p><p>Table 2.2 of the annual publication “Crime Outcomes in England and Wales, year ending March 2017” provides data on outcomes for crimes in that year by offence group and outcome type. These outcomes cover all the possible actions the police could take under the old detections framework, as well as the additional outcomes. These tables, and data for earlier years, can be found here:</p><p> </p><p><a href="https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/crime-outcomes-in-england-and-wales-statistics" target="_blank">https://www.gov.uk/government/collections/crime-outcomes-in-england-and-wales-statistics</a></p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 21/11/2017 16:02:04 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/11/2017 answer text <p>The Government has protected police spending since 2015. Since then, Po-lice and Crime Commissioners (PCCs) have received broadly flat cash direct resource funding and we are increasing investment in transformation and improved communications and technology capabilities.</p><p>We know that crime is changing, and we are sensitive to current pressures on policing. That is why I am undertaking a programme of engagement with the sector to understand the impact of changing demands, and to hear how the police are managing this. That includes what more can be done to improve productivity and efficiency, reduce bureaucracy, and make prudent use of financial reserves.</p><p>Decisions about the allocation of police resources and deployment of officers are for Chief Constables and democratically accountable PCCs. They are responsible for ensuring the needs of the local community are met.</p> answering member constituency Ruislip, Northwood and Pinner answering member printed Mr Nick Hurd question first answered 21/11/2017 16:00:44 answering member 1561 label Biography information for Mr Nick Hurd
