Leicestershire PEEL 2015
Other inspections
How well has the force performed in our other inspections?
In addition to the three core PEEL pillars, HMICFRS carries out inspections of a wide range of policing activity throughout the year. Some of these are conducted alongside the PEEL inspections; others are joint inspections.
Findings from these inspections are published separately to the main PEEL reports, but are taken into account when producing the rounded assessment of each force's performance.

Police custody
Police custody in Leicestershire was generally positive and police were working hard with others to provide an excellent mental health service.
Leicestershire Police had made considerable efforts working with other organisations to provide an excellent mental health and police combined service. It was one of the better services we have seen. Health care was clearly an area of good practice, however, services to children in custody would benefit from the same focus and attention. Areas of weakness requiring improvements included aspects of risk management, limited accountability in how force was recorded and monitored and weak arrangements to allow learning from adverse incidents.
