Policing inspection programme and framework 2025–29
The ‘Policing inspection programme and framework 2025–29’ sets out our intended inspection programme for policing, which will begin in April 2025 and conclude in 2029.
Our overarching purpose, in common with the sectors we inspect, is to make communities safer. Working in collaboration with others, while retaining independence, is at the forefront of everything we do.
Through our reports on policing, we hold forces to account. We highlight what is working well and could be replicated elsewhere, as well as what needs to improve. The recommendations we make can lead to significant improvements in policing.
