The Department has allocated around £500,000 for 2024-25 to support the deployment of supervising officers whose role it is to engage with TROs to support the assessment and management of their risk. The funding secures supervision officers and administrative staff — six and a half full-time equivalents — from HMPPS. The supervising officers are all qualified probation officers. My priority is keeping the public safe and delivering effective public protection. That can be a costly exercise, but savings are realised wherever possible.
