Police Forces: Hertfordshire

In our 2023‑25 police efficiency, effectiveness and legitimacy inspection of Hertfordshire Constabulary, we raised a cause of concern regarding how the constabulary was failing to record reports of crime correctly.

Following an audit of crime-recording in April 2025, we have closed this cause of concern and issued an area for improvement related to how the constabulary records sexual offences.

This letter provides an update on our findings.
