Proceeding contribution from Andrew Dismore (Labour) in the House of Commons on Thursday, 4 February 2010. It occurred during Adjournment debate on Human Rights.
Human Rights
My hon. Friend misunderstands the position. The difficulty with police in riot gear is that it can sometimes provoke rather than calm things down. HMIC identified in its work that there is nothing in between to de-escalate confrontations. We start from ordinary policing and end up in riot gear, but there is nothing in between. Police can escalate, but have no training to de-escalate. That is what has been missing so far.
