Thread by @SuellaBraverman

Delighted to speak at the @PoliceChiefs & @AssocPCCs Partnership Summit, which has focused on the police’s key priorities of cutting crime and building confidence.

Here’s a thread on the key points I covered: 1/6

I have asked @CollegeofPolice to consider options for a new non-degree entry route, to deliver officers of the highest calibre and ensure that forces are open to those who do not have a degree or want one. 2/6

My team and I at the @ukhomeoffice will look closely at ‘non-crime hate incidents’ to ensure that the police’s priorities are focused on tackling crime, not debating gender on Twitter. 3/6

I gave the police my full support to use all the powers at their disposal to deal with disruptive protesters, so that the rights of a selfish minority are not placed above the rights of the law-abiding majority. 4/6

I made clear that organisations and local leaders who have failed to protect our children from grooming gangs will be held to account. We will deport individuals who were involved in this criminality where the law allows it. 5/6

I am overseeing new guidance on data-sharing, and bringing together local examples of best practice, to drive up standards and efficiencies across policing. #commonsensepolicing 6/6
