THE Home Secretary has vowed to put more sex offenders behind bars after thousands of police officers were specially trained in investigating rapes.

James Cleverly, pictured, hailed the figure as a "significant milestone" in the bid to overhaul how rape and sexual offences are handled.

It comes after Prime Minister Rishi Sunak was forced to reject claims that rape had effectively become "decriminalised", instead insisting in the Commons earlier this week that "significant improvements" had been made in police probes.

According to the College of Policing, 4,540 police officers in England and Wales have completed specialist training on investigating rape and sexual offences.

This is more than double a target set by the Government to train up 2,000 by May, amid efforts to boost the number of successful rape investigations.
