Police Forces: Wiltshire

Between 17 January and 11 February 2022, we inspected Wiltshire Police as part of our police efficiency, effectiveness and legitimacy (PEEL) programme. We identified three causes of concern, which were that the force:

  • was failing to understand and promptly identify the vulnerability of victims at the first point of contact;
  • did not protect vulnerable people from harm to an acceptable standard; and
  • did not have adequate strategic plans in place.

On 24 June 2022, we decided to place the force into our enhanced level of monitoring, known as ‘engage’. This level of monitoring 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.
