Report of the Independent Office for Police Conduct

Members considered the IOPC Annual Report on Police Complaints 2018/19 and the following points were made.

·         The Assistant Commissioner noted whilst the report was broadly positive for the Force there had been a decline in the time it took to record complaints, from 98% within 10 working days in 2017/18 to 85% in 2018/19. The HPS explained that this was due to the team being reliant on one individual to record cases, which provided little resilience. However steps would be taken to mitigate this.
