This report sets out our findings on the arrangements that police forces have in place to ensure police act honestly and with integrity, and on the capability of police forces in England and Wales to respond to complaints, internal reports and intelligence about misconduct and corruption.
This inspection looks at how effective police forces are at cutting crime. The public expects the police to reduce, prevent and investigate crime, bring suspects to justice and, with other services and agencies, care for victims.

This service includes regular information about their case as well as the opportunity to provide an impact statement and have their say on potential criminal justice outcomes.

This report examines all 43 police forces in England and Wales.
