Suella Braverman has said it is 'unacceptable' that crimes such as shoplifting, criminal damage and phone or car theft have been treated as 'less important'.
The commitment, agreed by the Home Office, the National Police Chiefs' Council and College of Policing, comes as part of a"crime week" of policy announcements planned by the government.
However, Labour branded it a"staggering admission of 13 years of Tory failure on policing and crime".Ms Braverman said:"The police have made progress in preventing crime across the country with neighbourhood offences like burglary, robbery and vehicle theft down by 51% since 2010. "Despite this success, since I became home secretary I've heard too many accounts from victims where police simply haven't acted on helpful leads because crimes such as phone and car thefts are seen as less important - that's unacceptable. It has damaged people's confidence in policing.
"Criminals must have no place to hide. The police's commitment today is a huge step forward towards delivering the victim-focused, common-sense policing the public deserve."
