This petition was rejected

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:

Petitions need to call on the Government or Parliament to take a specific action.

We understand that you're concerned about how the police handle certain cases, but we're not sure exactly what you'd like the Government or Parliament to do. It's not clear if you want the Government to introduce new training requirements for the police, or do something else.

You could start a new petition explaining clearly what you would like the Government or Parliament to do.

We have published the following petition, which you might like to sign:


Require all police officers to receive domestic abuse training: petition.parliament.uk/petitions/632610
