Short profile:
At HMIC, we monitor and report on forces and policing activity with the aim of encouraging improvement. This includes chairing the Police Performance Steering Group, which decides whether support and intervention is necessary. By providing accessible information on the performance of forces, we allow their public, and peers, to see how they are doing. This will place pressure on those forces falling below average in aspects of policing, to raise their game.
Detailed description:
We will always try to see policing through the public’s eyes. We will use consumer ‘watchdog’ tactics, such as mystery shopping, and ask the public, in surveys, what they think about policing and where they want to see improvements. Our reports will be clear, jargon-free and designed to be accessible, measured, objective, statistically reliable and authoritative. We also continue to provide high-quality professional advice to police – using experienced officers and other experts, such as lawyers and accountants to identify the ‘best practice’ which all forces can aspire to. We will encourage operational excellence and, increasingly, a good deal for the public in terms of value for money.
