Launch of the Early Intervention Guide for Operational Police Officers and PCSO's

The launch of new guidance will help police officers prevent crime and other problems by intervening early to help children and families where things are at risk of going wrong.

The Early Intervention Foundation and College of Policing have launched a practical guide to help frontline police identify children, young people or families needing support and respond effectively.

Dorset Police and Crime Commissioner Martyn Underhill will be the guest speaker at tonight’s official launch of the guide at the House of Commons. The reception will be attended by the Crime Prevention Minister, Lynne Featherstone.
