Recommendation 21

Deferred
Paragraph: 54
Scope out a 'Fitness to Practise' regime for policing as part of disciplinary review
Recommendation
Working with the College of Policing, NPCC and other key stakeholders, we recommend the Home Office scope out a “Fitness to Practise” regime for policing. This should be done as part of the review of wider functioning of the disciplinary system we have recommended already.
Government Response Summary
The government discusses the College of Policing's Neighbourhood Policing guidelines and commits to continuing to work on prioritising neighbourhood policing, completely sidestepping the recommendation for a “Fitness to Practise” regime and disciplinary system review.

55. The College of Policing published its Neighbourhood Policing guidelines in 2018. The guidelines provide support and practical material across forces to optimise approaches to neighbourhood policing, including how to develop police officers, staff and volunteers in this capacity. The government will continue to work closely with the College of Policing and NPCC to ensure neighbourhood policing is a priority for all forces.
