"The Professionalising Investigation Programme will ensure consistent, rigorous investigations of everything from the theft of milk bottles to multiple murder inquiries. For the first time, British policing is to have consistent, rigorous investigative standards and the wherewithal to train top-class investigators. The system that is making this happen - the Professionalising Investigation Programme (PIP) - is focused on improving operational performance in the police service. As discussed in last week's Police Review (PR, 16 June), it is a national programme of reforms. It is designed to give police officers and staff the knowledge and skills they need to investigate crime professionally and effectively. It comprises a series of learning and development programmes that will standardise investigator training and investigative practices." [Sub Required]
