The NPCC has now confirmed that all 43 forces in England and Wales have been implementing the policy since March.
Officers are attending every home burglary in England and Wales following a pledge to roll out the policy, police chiefs have said.
He said: “We want to be bringing more offenders to justice, we want to be gathering more evidence, and we want to be improving detection rates. We expect to be judged on the results the public see.” Police leaders had also been pushing the Government to boost health and social care provision so that officers have to deal with fewer non-crime related calls.
Out of 148,764 residential burglaries recorded by police forces in England and Wales in 2021/22, just 3.5% resulted in a charge or summons. Almost 72% of the investigations were closed with no suspect identified . “It will make forces more accountable within their own communities, bring more consistency to our responses to burglary, and help to improve detection rates. Policing should be able to deliver more of what the public rightly expects of it.”
