Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) Inspection Update

Report of the Commissioner of Police.

Minutes:

Members considered an update report of the Commissioner of Police regarding Her Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) Inspection and the following points were made.

 

·         The Commissioner of Police noted there were 15 outstanding recommendations, down from 24 at the time Members considered the last update report. There were 12 new ‘Green’ recommendations to report to the Sub-Committee. The Force had been notified for three forthcoming inspections around Counter-Terrorism (Prevent), Cyber, and Crime Date Integrity.

 

·         The Chairman of the Police Committee noted that he would raise the pace of forthcoming inspections at the next Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) meeting.

 

·         The Chairman noted that he would welcome additional detail within future reporting on whether recommendations were open, closed or progressed, and that clarity be sought on deadlines for delivery on recommendations where these had not been explicitly provided by HMICFRS.

 

·         In response to a question, the Assistant Commissioner of Police noted that the Force was considered a national lead on mental health due to the on-street triage approach.

 

RESOLVED, that the report be received.
