"Under the new plans, set to be unveiled in a white paper on Monday, police officers in England and Wales will be required to hold and renew a licence to practise throughout their career in the future. This will ensure officers stay at the top of their game by keeping up to date with the latest problem solving and technological skills they need to catch more criminals, the Home Office said."
"The licence will create a single standardised framework for officer training, supervision and development, which will be rolled out across all 43 police forces in England and Wales. It will set clear standards in areas including violence against women and girls, neighbourhood policing and leadership expectations for staff, the Home Office said. Officers who repeatedly fail to demonstrate they have the skills needed to fight crime will be sacked."
A Licence to Practise will require police officers to hold and renew a professional licence throughout their careers, ensuring continuing problem-solving and technological competency. The licence will create a single standardised framework for training, supervision and development across all 43 police forces in England and Wales. Clear standards will cover violence against women and girls, neighbourhood policing and leadership expectations. Officers who repeatedly fail to demonstrate required skills will be dismissed. Concerns remain that professional policing also requires better pay, sufficient training time, and improved support, as officers are often pulled from mandatory training, work rest days, and carry unsafe workloads.
