Police effectiveness 2015 (Vulnerability) – Avon and Somerset Constabulary

Published on: 15 December 2015

Publication types: Effectiveness, PEEL and Vulnerability

Police Forces: Avon and Somerset

Summary

As part of its annual inspections into police effectiveness, efficiency and legitimacy (PEEL), HMIC’s effectiveness programme assessed how well forces keep people safe and reduce crime. Within this programme, HMIC’s vulnerability inspection examined the overall question, ‘How effective are forces at protecting from harm those who are vulnerable, and supporting victims?’. We have considered in depth how forces respond to and support missing and absent children and victims of domestic abuse, and assessed how well prepared forces are to respond to and safeguard children at risk of sexual exploitation.

The remaining effectiveness findings and the legitimacy report will be published in Spring 2016. The efficiency inspection was published on 20 October 2015.
