ACPO response to the Government's Prevent review

The police service has played a central role in driving forward preventing violent extremism

ACPO Prevent lead Chief Constable Sir Norman Bettison said:

"The police service has played a central role in driving forward preventing violent extremism and ACPO has been fully supportive of this Government review.

“Since the implementation of the ACPO Prevent Policing Strategy in 2008, we have made significant progress in beginning to understand what needs to happen both from a UK perspective and in collaboration with international partners to meet the challenge of stopping people, especially young people, becoming drawn into violent extremism.

“Research commissioned by ACPO and carried out by Universities’ Police Science Institute at Cardiff University (UPSI) assessed the effects of policing in the delivery of the Prevent strategy. The research published in April, has clearly shown that the effects of Prevent policing, have not caused widespread damage or harm to relationships between Muslim communities and the police. Instead communities are increasingly taking the lead in challenging violent extremism.

“The strategy launched today gives us the opportunity to build on this work and gain support from all our communities as we work alongside the Government, key partners and communities to prevent terrorism in all its forms.”
