HMIC report on our inspection of the Police Service of Northern Ireland Historical Enquiries Team
Upon the request of the Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland (PSNI), in 2012 the Minister of Justice for Northern Ireland commissioned HMIC to inspect the role and function of the Historical Enquiries Team (HET). HMIC found that the HET’s approach to reviewing deaths during ‘the troubles’ is inconsistent, has serious shortcomings and so risks public confidence.
