:00:54. > :01:00.Hello. First tonight, how our police forces are leading the way when it
:01:01. > :01:02.comes to tackling domestic violence. A report by Her Majesty's
:01:03. > :01:05.Inspectorate of Constabularx found that, nationally, the response to
:01:06. > :01:10.domestic violence was "not good enough". In some places victims were
:01:11. > :01:18."put at unnecessary risk". Here though, the picture is better.
:01:19. > :01:20."put at unnecessary risk". Here, though, the picture is bettdr. All
:01:21. > :01:24.three forces were praised for making domestic abuse a priority. @nd the
:01:25. > :01:27.domestic abuse a priority. And the inspectors said Essex, which has
:01:28. > :01:30.been heavily criticised in the past, now had a very different approach.
:01:31. > :01:34.But there's still room for improvement, as Debbie Tubbx
:01:35. > :01:36.reports. For 12 years, Ruth suffered at the

:02:12. > :02:18.abusive partners. They were all high profile cases in Essex. Now,
:02:19. > :02:22.domestic abuse advisers go to hospitals in order to spot those too
:02:23. > :02:24.scared to speak out. Officers also wear video cameras to record at the
:02:25. > :02:25.victim's house. Last year, Essex victim's house. Last year, Dssex
:02:26. > :02:29.Police dealt with almost 8,900 Police dealt with almost 8,900
:02:30. > :02:32.domestic`related crimes. Today's report says it has made significant
:02:33. > :02:33.improvements, but the service provided to some victims remains
:02:34. > :02:36.provided to some victims relains fragmented and patchy. I'm
:02:37. > :02:39.encouraged by the findings but I've been doing this job a very long time
:02:40. > :02:41.and there is no room for complacency. Positive steps have
:02:42. > :02:51.been taken and hopefully that been taken and hopefully that
:02:52. > :02:53.continues. Last year, Norfolk Police dealt with almost 3,300
:02:54. > :02:55.domestic`related crimes. Among today's recommendations, it should
:02:56. > :02:58.analyse the training available for officers and staff about a crime

:03:22. > :03:24.almost 2,900 cases. Among the recommendations, it needs to
:03:25. > :03:28.increase the number of advisers dealing with those abused. Ht is
:03:29. > :03:30.vital that I make sure these vital that I make sure these
:03:31. > :03:32.constabularies are equipped and resourced to deal with this awful
:03:33. > :03:35.problem. There will be better problem. There will be bettdr
:03:36. > :03:48.training. There's always room for improvement. All three police forces

:03:57. > :04:02.But it's worth it. You get out the other side and you become empowered.
:04:03. > :04:04.other side and you become elpowered. Well, as you heard, Essex Police was
:04:05. > :04:07.praised for having changed its praised for having changed hts
:04:08. > :04:09.approach to domestic violence in the past year. Earlier the Chief
:04:10. > :04:15.Constable, Stephen Kavanagh, told me what the force had done.
:04:16. > :04:19.I think what Essex Police has tried to do is open the door ` both to
:04:20. > :04:22.partners and other groups who previously may have been crhtical of
:04:23. > :04:27.policing. Whether you're a victim or an informed group, come and talk to
:04:28. > :04:30.us about what we need to be doing better. While we're listening to
:04:31. > :04:31.those groups, we're also looking at technology and we're being demanding
:04:32. > :04:45.in our partnerships. Thankftlly in our partnerships. Thankfully,
:04:46. > :04:48.now, the county is sharing information in a way that's never
:04:49. > :04:52.even been dreamt of before. But I think the report highlights that
:04:53. > :04:55.we've still got a long way to go. There's no room for complacdncy The
:04:56. > :04:59.report does say that the service is still rather fragmented and patchy `
:05:00. > :05:02.that some victims are still not getting the quality of servhce they
:05:03. > :05:13.deserve. Why is that? What we've had to do is focus on the high risk
:05:14. > :05:14.cases initially. We've put ` lot of effort into making sure that over
:05:15. > :05:17.1,400 cases have had information 1,400 cases have had inform`tion
:05:18. > :05:22.shared across the county. We created a new domestic crime unit in
:05:23. > :05:25.Basildon and Southend. You'll notice from the report that the
:05:26. > :05:35.call`handlers people now ring in to actually identify vulnerabilities.
:05:36. > :05:38.They're properly trained. The officers get complimented on their
:05:39. > :05:41.ability to identify the needs of victims and the needs of children.
:05:42. > :05:45.So if you're watching tonight and you are suffering domestic `buse,
:05:46. > :05:47.Essex is in a better place to support you and we can work with
:05:48. > :05:48.partners to make sure you're support you and we can work with
:05:49. > :05:50.partners to make sure you'rd safe. partners to make sure you're safe.
:05:51. > :05:53.You've also employed some kind of profiling of both victims and
:05:54. > :05:55.perpetrators. You're taking a more pro`active approach before something
:05:56. > :05:57.actually happens? Just before Christmas we had what was c`lled
:05:58. > :05:59.Operation Goodwill. We profhled according to the gravity of offences
:06:00. > :06:02.and the frequency. We used `n and the frequency. We used an
:06:03. > :06:04.academic model. We identified the 50 worst offenders for domestic abuse.
:06:05. > :06:07.My officers called on them and My officers called on them `nd
:06:08. > :06:09.explained in no uncertain terms that if they were going to continue with
:06:10. > :06:12.domestic abuse behaviour ovdr domestic abuse behaviour over
:06:13. > :06:16.Christmas, we'd make sure they spent Christmas in prison. We went to see
:06:17. > :06:19.the victims as well and we talked to them about how we would support
:06:20. > :06:22.them. We gave them contact numbers. We wanted to make sure they felt
:06:23. > :06:25.safe over Christmas. We've seen the body`worn cameras that your police
:06:26. > :06:29.wear. What kind of difference does that make as far as prosecutions are
:06:30. > :06:40.concerned? We have an excellent relationship with the Crown
:06:41. > :06:43.Prosecution Service. They'rd working really hard to get prosecutions
:06:44. > :06:45.where victims don't feel able to come forward or give statemdnts
:06:46. > :06:46.come forward or give statements. These cameras are able to c`pture
:06:47. > :06:50.These cameras are able to capture the trauma and the distress of
:06:51. > :06:51.victims ` the tears, the blood, the broken furniture, the crying

:06:56. > :06:57.officer's statement could ndver officer's statement could never
:06:58. > :07:01.quite capture. I think this HMI report is overdue. We need to start
:07:02. > :07:05.sharing things quickly. At the heart of this, policing has got to do more
:07:06. > :07:15.in partnership to make sure the victims of domestic abuse are better
:07:16. > :07:18.protected. If you've been affected by this
:07:19. > :07:24.report, you can call the National Domestic Abuse Hotline on 0808 2000

:08:02. > :08:04.quickly. Seeing the accident was horrible. These students were
:08:05. > :08:10.directly behind the accident, in a minibus heading to the Peak
:08:11. > :08:13.District. They're studying Public Service, and all aspire to join the

:08:40. > :08:43.think, but we thought on our feet. We got out and tried to savd some
:08:44. > :08:45.lives. There were 12 students, aged 17 to 19, and three teachers. Two of
:08:46. > :08:49.the people in the car were already the people in the car were already
:08:50. > :08:52.dead. The third was in the back so they helped him to safety.
:08:53. > :09:03.Tragically, he died a short while later. The lorry was pouring out
:09:04. > :09:07.petrol. We thought, if this catches fire we're going to have a lot more
:09:08. > :09:11.casualties. We got the guy out of the back, who was conscious at the
:09:12. > :09:15.time. We tried to save his life but unfortunately we didn't. We thought
:09:16. > :09:18.he would survive but he didn't. It was really sad. Incredible, really.
:09:19. > :09:34.No`one knows how they would react. Some would run away. They are a
:09:35. > :09:37.credit to themselves. This was a compassionate act but they responded
:09:38. > :09:45.courageously. The victims were named today. They lived near Rochdale.
:09:46. > :09:57.They were a close family unit. We're devastated. The crash has
:09:58. > :09:59.intensified lobbying to upgrade the A47. In a statement today, it was

:10:53. > :10:55.man they think has been strhpping valuables from churches in Essex. He
:10:56. > :10:58.was spotted on CCTV smashing open a collection box in Abberton church
:10:59. > :11:02.near Colchester. An 18`inch statue and a bronze bell were also taken.
:11:03. > :11:05.He was filmed at the church last month. But there have since been
