联合王国政府在英格兰和威尔士为警察制定了新的国家应对时间指标,要求999个电话在10秒内得到回应,在城市15分钟内对紧急情况作出反应,在农村地区20分钟内对危及生命或持续发生事件作出反应。 The UK government has introduced new national response time targets for police in England and Wales, requiring 999 calls to be answered within 10 seconds and emergency responses within 15 minutes in cities and 20 minutes in rural areas for life-threatening or ongoing incidents. 这些改革由内政大臣沙巴纳·马哈穆德宣布,包括建立一个负责恐怖主义和欺诈问题的中央国家警察署,一个负责官员的国家许可证制度,以及标准化的业绩追踪,对表现不佳的部队进行监督。 The reforms, unveiled by Home Secretary Shabana Mahmood, include creating a centralized National Police Service for terrorism and fraud, a national licensing system for officers, and standardized performance tracking with oversight for underperforming forces. 这些变化在2026年1月25日发表的白皮书中详述,其目的是加强问责制、恢复公众信任和加强社区治安,尽管批评者警告说,要有效执行这些变革需要大量投资。 The changes, detailed in a white paper released January 25, 2026, aim to improve accountability, restore public trust, and strengthen neighbourhood policing, though critics warn they require substantial investment to implement effectively.
