The department commenced a review of the Strategic Policing Requirement (SPR) in October 2020. The review is approximately three months in duration and is due to conclude in the new year, ahead of PCC elections in May. The review is ongoing and we continue to work with policing partners, seeking views on and shaping the content of a revised SPR. There is a high threshold for inclusion of new national threats in the SPR and as part of the review process we are assessing whether and how roads policing might feature.
