Recommendation 38
38
Deferred
Paragraph: 86
Neighbourhood policing repeatedly side-lined and undermined by operational abstractions and other actions.
Conclusion
There was widespread agreement among our witnesses that neighbourhood work was the bedrock of policing. But too often it is side-lined by abstractions or otherwise undermined, for example where officers are taken away from their usual duties to respond to emergency situations, or the actions of non-territorial squads undermining the trust built up by local teams.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government describes actions taken by the NPCC regarding national staff support associations and a review of diversity staff support networks, which is unrelated to the committee's conclusion on neighbourhood policing.
