Staffordshire Police: PEEL causes of concern revisit letter

In January 2022, we conducted a victim service assessment as part of our police efficiency, effectiveness and legitimacy inspection of Staffordshire Police. During the inspection we identified two accelerated causes of concern, which were that the force:

• was failing to identify and assess vulnerability at first point of contact; and
• wasn’t carrying out effective investigations and didn’t give victims the support they needed.

On 6 July 2022, we moved Staffordshire Police to the engage phase of our monitoring process. This provides additional accountability and support to forces that are tackling enduring problems.

We have reviewed progress against these causes of concerns.

This letter gives an update on our findings.
