"No excuses don't cut crime', Patel says the police

Jun 24,2020 12:02 pm

Priti Patel told A Crime conference, they would be "unapologetic" about keeping police on the account

It must be "no excuses" for the not-to cut crime, Home Secretary Priti Patel has said that senior police officers.

presentation at a conference in London, Ms Patel, signaled The Return of The National goals, namely the "results" should be measured in important areas.

The interior Minister added that they would "police unapologetic" about holding to account.

It came as the Minister dismissed the allegations of bullying in the Home Office .

Prime Minister Boris Johnson has 20,000 new police officers in England and Wales, within three years - almost to the reversal of the reduction in numbers since the Conservatives came to power in 2010. promised to recruit

in his speech at the National Police Chiefs' Council, and the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners summit in Westminster, Ms Patel said she expects that people will be able to see a difference when the new officers were in post, such as less crime and safer streets.

She Said the Success would be measured in a number of National Police to work results with priorities including the reduction of homicide, serious violence and neighborhood crime.

Ms Patel said she was "unequivocal" in their support for civil servants, but added: "We pull out all the stops to deliver the reduction in crime, the people want to see. There must be no weak points.

"These results are then non-negotiable, and I will keep his suffering to be held accountable. "

Priti Patel ' s message to The Police was blunt: we invest in you, now you need to deliver.

This comes as little surprise to chief constables gathered at the conference - a government that law and order is a priority of the results.

But the means by which the Minister measure the Success of The National "results," or goals, in all but name, are probably a cause for concern.

The Last time-national crime indicators were brought under Tony Blair ' s Labour government, they had a number of unintended consequences of certain serious offences, which is not measured does not get the attention they should have been given.

The three-year period for the reduction of crime is set by the Minister of the interior is also enormously ambitious.

But the clear goal you have set, probably, it is to be welcomed by The Public , which, as you acknowledged in your speech, confidence in the Criminal Justice system.

Ms Patel's speech, the Minister came further claims that she collided with senior officials, and are scorned colleagues and distrusted by the intelligence chiefs.

Ms Patel and the permanent Secretary, Sir Philip Rutnam , a joint Declaration released, to deny reports of a deep rift at The Top of the division, while the allies described them as a "demanding" boss, but not a tyrant.

Earlier, police minister, Kit Malthouse insisted it was "glutinous harmony" in The Department , and he had not experienced bullying by his boss.

the reports of The warring prompted The Head of The Public service, Sir Mark Sedwill , to put an end to the media leaks in a missive to the government employees.

Ministers have continued to dismiss allegations Ms Patel harassed their employees

in her speech, MS Patel announced £41. 5m funding for the forces, the in 18 areas most at risk of serious violence, and launched an eight-week consultation on the plans for the establishment of a police Federal in the law.

The Plan , first of all, insignificant in the party, the Conservative general election manifesto, pledges to serve back the rights, or ex-police officers, Staff and their families, recognize the responsibility and the risks, take the officers, and a code of conduct, to introduce.

The Police Federation of England and Wales, welcomed the plans.

National chairman, John Apter, said: "The Police is a dangerous and unpredictable of work, and it is important that there is something in place, which ensures that police officers, employees, retired colleagues and their families receive the support they deserve.

"This consultation is an opportunity to Form what will look like a police Federal. This is something that I feel excites me extremely, and it's great to see that this is a step closer to Reality . "
