Police integrity inspection programme methodology – 2025 onwards

Published on: 28 March 2025

We are inspecting the vetting, professional standards and counter-corruption arrangements in police forces in England and Wales. These elements form our programme of integrity inspections.

All police forces inspected in this programme will receive a separate graded judgment for vetting, professional standards and counter-corruption.

This is the methodology and terms of reference for the second cycle of inspections in this programme.
