Bigger, better Probation Service to cut crime
The public will be better protected and crime will be cut the Lord Chancellor Robert Buckland vows today (28 June 2021) as the new, unified Probation Service is launched.
From:
newly-unified Probation Service plans record recruitment drive
offenders face closer supervision and home visits to better protect children and partners
More than £300 million worth of extra funding has been pumped into the service since July 2019.
The funding is helping to more than double the recruitment of probation officers, from the usual annual intake of 600 trainee probation officers to 1,000 last year with plans to recruit a record 1,500 this financial year. This will mean staff can keep a closer eye on the most dangerous offenders and ensure many more take up the opportunity to reform their criminal ways.
