Specialist investigators to replace outdated police system
It is proposed that teams to deal with rape and other sex offences will be in place by 2029
(ROB BROWNE)
SPECIALIST rape and sex offences investigators will be introduced to every police force as part of reforms to be introduced under the UK Government's violence against women and girls (Vawg) strategy.
Teams to deal with such crimes will be set up by 2029 to replace an outdated system to better support victims and crack down on rapists and sex offenders.
The Home Secretary announced the changes ahead of the Vawg strategy launch expected next week.
