Police Forces: Devon and Cornwall

In our 2021–22 police effectiveness, efficiency and legitimacy (PEEL) inspection of Devon and Cornwall Police, we raised an area of concern regarding responding to the public. Our 2023–24 PEEL inspection also found this to be a cause of concern.

In August 2024, the force provided data showing that it had made sustained improvements in this area. As a result, we have closed this cause of concern.

This letter provides an update on our findings, and outlines the next steps in relation to the force’s remaining causes of concern.
