Holding offenders to account

We will work with partners to develop an effective offender management framework building on existing processes for community and prison based offenders that is easy to access and clear for all agencies to use.

We will strengthen our detective workforce at every rank to work towards our perfect profile, ensuring we have the right staff with the right skills relentlessly pursuing those that target women and girls.

We will work with commissioned services to ensure that appropriate offenders are educated and given the opportunity to amend their offending behaviour and use their experience to inform our practice to improve outcomes for victims.

We will work with a range of stakeholders to educate our investigative staff to

• improve risk identification and management
• ensure they maximise the latest investigative techniques
• improve our case management
• ensure the full range of protective measures are utilised to manage offender’s behaviour to reduce the risk of further harm

We will review our policies and procedures to ensure they are clear and fit for purpose, driving the right activity to improve our response to risk identification and management. This will include cyber enabled offences committed by offenders who seek to exploit women and girls online.

We will enhance our response by developing a new approach to investigating domestic abuse to provide a proactive capability that tackles the most chronic and persistent offenders.
