Frontline policing and academics across 19 forces were bought together to test new tools and techniques which form this new approach, and all forces in England and Wales are now implementing it.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 25/09/2023 14:24:50 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp

The use of artificial intelligence to predict and prevent serious violence is an operational matter for Chief Constables.</p><p>Knife crime is below its pre-pandemic level and the Home Office is investing over £110m to tackle serious violence in 2023/24. This includes:</p><ul><li>Violence Reduction Units and hotspot policing in the 20 areas worst affected by serious violence;</li><li>A Serious Violence Duty which legally requires specified agencies to work together to reduce serious violence locally;</li><li>Piloting Serious Violence Reduction Orders to give the police the power to stop and search adults already convicted of knife or offensive weapons offences; and</li><li>The Homicide Prevention Fund to help national policing organisations and local forces trial new initiatives and approaches.</li></ul><p>We are also banning certain types of large knives (such as zombie style knives and machetes), giving the police more powers to seize dangerous weapons, creating a new offence of possession of a bladed weapon with an intent to harm, and increasing sentences for those who import, manufacture or sell dangerous weapons to under 18s.</p> answering member constituency Croydon South answering member printed Chris Philp question first answered 25/09/2023 10:12:34 answering member 4503 label Biography information for Chris Philp

answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 21/09/2023 answer text <p>Access to Op RESTORE is by general practitioner (GP) referral, therefore it is vital that there is awareness of the service in primary care. There are direct links between Op RESTORE and the Royal College of General Practitioners’ Veteran Friendly Accreditation Scheme, with accredited practices receiving information on the bespoke veterans’ services, such as Op RESTORE and Op COURAGE, including how to refer to them. To date, over 75% of primary care networks have at least one GP practice that is accredited as veteran friendly. In addition, the service is promoted through the Royal College of General Practitioners clinical toolkits and the Op COURAGE service.</p> answering member constituency Lewes answering member printed Maria Caulfield question first answered 21/09/2023 14:58:20 answering member 4492 label Biography information for Maria Caulfield
