22nd Jul 2024
To ask the Secretary of State for the Home Department, what steps her Department is taking to ensure that police officers have confidence in their ability to (a) appropriately use force and (b) use other powers available to them for community policing.

Police officers have the power to use force where it is reasonable, proportionate and necessary to do so.

Oversight of police use of force is provided by His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and any death or serious injury during or following police contact must be referred to the Independent Office for Police Complaints.

The College of Policing sets training and guidance for use of force to which police are expected to operate.
