Super-complaint on the police response to stalking

Super-complaints provide a voice for designated bodies to raise concerns on behalf of the public about patterns or trends in policing that are, or appear to be, significantly harming the interests of the public.

On 24 November 2022 we received a super-complaint from the Suzy Lamplugh Trust.  This super-complaint is about the police response to victims of stalking.

Following a joint investigation, His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS), the Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC), and the College of Policing have made recommendations to the Home Office, National Police Chiefs’ Council, chief constables, police and crime commissioners (or equivalents), the Association of Police and Crime Commissioners, the Ministry of Justice, and the Crown Prosecution Service.

We have published an annex report about HMICFRS fieldwork to support the investigation.

HMICFRS will provide an update on GOV.UK on follow up activity it undertakes that is relevant to this super-complaint.
