Data on the number of police officers who have received specialist modern slavery training are not held centrally. Through the £8.5m grant the Government has provided to support the police modern slavery transformation programme, an accredited modern slavery training course has been developed for all frontline officers and staff. This is supplemented by a specialist investigators’ course for detectives. Both courses are being rolled out across England and Wales.
