That this House recognises the December 2025 findings of the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) investigations relating to Sir Norman Bettison and the circumstances surrounding his application for the post of Chief Constable of Merseyside in 1998; notes the IOPC view that had Bettison still been serving, he would have had a case to answer for gross misconduct, for deliberate dishonesty in relation to his explanation of his involvement in the aftermath of the Hillsborough disaster during his application for, and appointment to, the post, that he underplayed the extent of his role in the aftermath of the disaster, and that he would have a case to answer for continually providing misleading and inaccurate press statements minimising his role to one on the periphery of the post-disaster investigations carried out by SYP; urges the Honours Forfeiture Committee to take these findings into account in the case of Bettison, which it says is "under consideration"; believes that Bettison’s knighthood should be rescinded for the reason he is unworthy to retain it and in order to preserve the integrity of the honours system; and expresses the importance of this action, as the only remaining meaningful sanction Bettison can face, owing to his retirement from the police service in 2013, as officers who retired before 2017 cannot face charges despite IOPC conclusions.

Mandate UK police forces to permanently replace conversational Values-Based Interviews with mandatory, local high-pressure scenario testing. Candidates must prove operational capability, de-escalation skills, and emotional resilience under real-world street stress before being hired. Current conversational recruitment filters allow biased or corrupt individuals to pass simply by memorising corporate scripts. Official data reveals that 4,877 officers voluntarily resigned in a single year, wasting millions in training costs. Testing operational capability under street pressure inside local facilities, like the Forest Gate Police Station, ensures resilience and strict financial accountability without adding any taxpayer costs.

I ask that police have unlimited funding in order to be able to act when needed on public safety; also for anything they should need in their line of work. As we rely on the police for safety and security, we believe it is only fit that they should have unlimited funding when needed. In order for the public to feel safer and securer during day and night, we think our police forces should have unlimited funding. Criminals and victimisers are none stop; and it is difficult for police to see everything or be more active if they haven’t got the resources of funding we think they should be entitled to in order to prevent anything from happening or take action when needed.

Legislate to require every allegation of a sexual offence against a serving or former police officer, and every allegation of abusing a policing role for a sexual or intimate relationship, to be investigated by an independent body established by law. This could be called Harriet’s Law. Police officers hold unique powers and positions of public trust. Allegations of sexual offences or abuse of a policing role for a sexual or intimate relationship should always be investigated by a statutory independent investigative body. Harriet's Law would safeguard victims, strengthen public confidence in policing, ensure accountability, improve transparency, reinforce the integrity of the criminal justice system, and encourage victims to come forward without fear of institutional bias.

We call for a review into what we consider to be two tier policing. In our view, examples of two-tier policing include different treatment of certain groups of people, or some behaviour (for example protests and demonstrations), where some people are dealt with more harshly, more robustly, than others by law enforcement.
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 4 July 2026
We call on the Government to amend the law to grant police immediate emergency powers to recover a child when a parent withholds them in breach of an active Court Order or shared care agreement. Currently, when a parent breaks a family court order and refuses to return a child, the police often refuse to intervene, calling it a "civil matter". Parents are forced to wait months for new court hearings while their children are alienated and legal orders are ignored with impunity. The law has a dangerous gap. We need emergency police enforcement powers to protect children and uphold court decisions immediately, instead of allowing parents to break the law while waiting for future court.

Police forces around greater Manchester should not be focused on tram and bus.Instead,they should be in areas with high crime rates and actually looking out for the public rather than fulfilling services than can be fulfilled by metrolink people.It leaves people in areas that need police in danger. This issue came to my attention when I saw a multitude of officers centered at Trafford bar tram stop.It became clear to me that police officers are focused on the wrong thing.There were already a lot of metrolink people centered at a multitude of tram stops yet police were still involved waiting for a crime that hadn’t even happened.If metrolink people do not have this power,then they should be granted it.Tram fares should be the least of their concerns.Focusing them on high crime rates decreases crime rate a lot I agree,but there is still too much for comfort
United Kingdom · UK Parliament · 29 June 2026
Abolish Police KPIs, Stop having “incident response times” on Grade 1 and 2 incidents, Stop officers in Response, neighbourhood and proactive teams from holding investigations and have dedicated investigation teams to stop the workload issue in frontline policing The Police should not be statistically driven. KPIs should be abolished and police officer should not be held accountable for how many arrests/stop searches etc they get over a period of time. The police should not be held accountable to response times. These should be removed as many people are driving quicker and putting more at risk to attend incidents within the required time. Officers in frontline departments should not be holding onto investigations. This should fall to dedicated teams.

We want Government to set up an independent review of traffic policing priorities, enforcement powers & resource allocation to ensure resources are focused on serious crime, dangerous driving, road safety threats & accident response, & ensuring traffic enforcement is proportionate to actual risk. Many people believe police resources should prioritise tackling robbery, theft, violent crime, dangerous driving and serious road safety risks rather than low-risk traffic offences with limited impact on public safety. This review should consider greater use of camera networks and automated enforcement where appropriate, whether penalties are focused on conduct that creates a genuine safety risk, and whether offences such as middle-lane driving on otherwise empty roads should attract penalties where no danger, obstruction or disruption has occurred. The Government should publish the findings and consider reforms that improve public safety and confidence in traffic policing.

We call on the Government to require the police to notify the parents of a person over 18 if that person is known to have autism or ADHD, have mental health issues, or if they suspect that the person has diminished mental capacity. We believe that people over 18 with additional needs do not have the mental capacity to speak for themselves, especially if in a mental health crisis, and that they are being majorly let down when their parents are not allowed to liaise with them because they are over 18. We therefore think the Government should introduce a requirement for the police to notify the parents in such cases so that parents can speak to services involved to help their child.

We call on the Home Secretary to mandate that police prioritize medical care over restraint for people in distress. Following tragic triage failures, we demand updated College of Policing guidelines, enhanced trauma training for internal bleeding, and an audit of control room communications. The Home Office should: 1.Formally update the College of Policing guidelines to state that the duty of care and medical triage must operate entirely independent of any initial allegations of race, religion, or culpability. 2.Introduce mandatory, enhanced training for all frontline officers, focusing specifically on recognizing the signs of internal bleeding. 3.Require an immediate, independent audit of how emergency control rooms communicate threat and medical information to arriving officers.

We ask the UK government to introduce legislation requiring enforceable measures for the NHS, police and CPS where serious failings or neglibence are identified. This should include a statutory duty for organisations and individuals to act transparently and honestly during investigations Senior leaders within the NHS, Police & CPS must be held responsibile when failures of duty happen. Following serious incidents in our country that lead to Inquiries, lessons are not learnt, mistakes are not acknowledged and so trust in public services erodes. Lessons from Inquiries that are expensive to hold, in the first place, must be embedded by law. An example is the Clunis Inquiry where lessons were not learnt or unlearnt because they was no statutory power to embed them in systems.

We call on Government to help public safety within the NTE by mandating police training on SIA guidelines & customer service, strengthening communication with venues, staff & door supervisors, & increasing policing & visible presence. We believe this will reduce violence and make nights out safer. Requested actions: • Mandate SIA training for police on door supervisors, licensed premises & operations to boost collaboration/enforcement. • Provide customer service & de-escalation training for effective engagement in night-time situations. • Establish formal protocols for communication, support & rapid response between police, venues & SIA door staff. • Increase proactive policing & visible presence in night-time hotspots during peak hours to deter crime

Increase funding for the Metropolitan Police. At the moment 1400 staff are being cut from the Metropolitan Police. Serious offences like Murder, GBH and Sexual crimes are not being investigated to a standard to keep people safe. More funding and reversing team cuts are needed. The Metropolitan Police has a funding shortfall of millions of pounds, but there is no increase in spending by the Mayor of London or Government to cover this shortfall. Therefore investigation teams are being cut. These cuts will mean serious offenders will not be investigated as there is not the manpower to do it leaving Londoners vulnerable to serious criminals due to a funding crisis.

I believe that the true reason a lot of criminals go unpunished is due to the responses of the police when a call/report is made. To fix this i believe that the country should have broken glass policy same as in New York where the police respond to all calls no matter how big or small. Police sometimes don’t respond to “lesser offences” such as vandalism or car thefts as they are seen as petty but it still affects the victim but they don’t get any justice out of it. I believe that if the broken glass policy was introduced we would follow in the city of New York’s footsteps and crime rates would go down and people would be punished for committing crimes instead of being left to go and do it again and again affecting more and more people in the process.

Accountability for police misconduct & failures. Improve transparency in investigations Ensure equal treatment under the law regardless of background, race or circumstance. Publish a clear plan for restoring public trust & confidence. Public consent cannot be assumed it must be earned Policing by consent relies upon public trust, accountability, fairness, transparency, and the equal application of the law. Many members of the public now believe these principles are not being consistently upheld. Concerns include failures in accountability, unequal treatment, inadequate investigations, a lack of transparency, and the erosion of public trust between communities and police forces.
