Police chiefs in England and Wales have promised that their officers will attend all residential thefts, following the UK government’s call for a shift of focus from “symbolic gestures” to “commonsense policing.”

The National Police Chiefs’ Council (NPCC) said on Oct. 5 that chief constables will work to ensure the approach is implemented “as soon as practically possible.”
