Police would have 24 hours to decide whether to pursue court orders designed to immediately protect victims after domestic violence incidents under Labour proposals aimed at ensuring swifter safeguarding.
The party said it would impose “strict” time limits on forces to weigh up whether to use the measures quickly after offences are reported.
A new system joining up police and court databases would also be rolled out to allow officers to live-track whether a person has been made subject to an order rather than waiting to be informed, Labour has said.
