Rejected petition Power of Entry Legislation For Police To Enter Flats Suspected To Be Cuckooed

Additional Power of Entry Legislation For Police To Enter Flats Suspected To Be Cuckooed, as there is none in place at this time.

More details

In a world in which county lines and the exploitation of children is becoming more and more prevalent, more and more vulnerable persons are falling victim of cuckooing. There is little police can do on this matter in terms of safeguarding or evicting the unwanted persons, if the door isn’t answered by the occupant or the unsavoury persons inside we cannot enter or save the vulnerable occupant.

Why was this petition rejected?

It’s not clear what the petition is asking the UK Government or Parliament to do.

The police can already get a warrant to enter a property if they suspect criminal activity. They can also enter a property without a warrant in certain circumstances.

If you want to report a crime you can find your local police force here: https://www.police.uk/

Or you could contact CrimeStoppers, an independent UK charity: https://crimestoppers-uk.org/
