Police Forces: West Midlands

In September 2023, we inspected West Midlands Police as part of our police efficiency, effectiveness and legitimacy (PEEL) programme. During our inspection, we identified four causes of concern. On 22 December 2023, we published these causes of concern in our 2023–25 PEEL assessment of West Midlands Police. Three of these causes of concern were that the force:

  • needed to make sure that its multi-agency risk assessment conferences (MARACs) work effectively to keep vulnerable people safe;
  • did not manage the risk posed to the public by registered sex offenders effectively; and
  • did not manage the risk posed by online child abuse offenders effectively.

In May and June 2024, we revisited the force to scrutinise the progress made against these three causes of concern.

This letter provides an update on our findings.
