Metropolitan Police to reduce enforcement of tag breaches

The Met will still review the cases but arrest will only be considered if there is risk or safeguarding concerns, according to the outlet (Alamy/PA) -

The Metropolitan Police will scale back its enforcement of tag conditions as it warned criminal justice pressures “cannot always fall on policing”.

Under a new pilot scheme, officers will not respond to curfew or tag batteries breaches lasting less than an hour unless the person is considered a particular risk to the public, Sky News reported.
