Paragraph: 88
Maximise efforts to make neighbourhood policing a specialism and enhance public-facing personnel training.

We recommend the College of Policing and individual forces maximise efforts to make neighbourhood policing a recognised specialism. Initial and on-going training for all public-facing personnel should incorporate communication, de-escalation and engagement skills.
Government response summary AI-generated
The government describes existing efforts by forces and HMICFRS regarding officer wellbeing, misconduct reporting, vetting, general workforce development, and Home Office surveys for new recruits, implying that current systems address aspects of culture and training without committing to new specialisms or specific training modules.
