PEEL: police effectiveness 2017 – force press releases

Police effectiveness is one of the all-force inspections carried out by HMICFRS as part of their annual PEEL reports.

HMICFRS adopted an interim risk-based approach to inspection in 2017 in order to focus more closely on areas of policing where risk to the public is most acute. Under this approach, not all forces are assessed against every part of the PEEL effectiveness programme every year.

Forces were assessed against the following areas:

  • Preventing crime and tackling anti-social behaviour;
  • Protecting vulnerable people; and
  • Specialist capabilities.
