HMICFRS Reports

In the Summer of 2017, HMIC took on inspections of England’s Fire & Rescue Services, assessing and reporting on their efficiency, effectiveness and leadership. To reflect this new role, the name changed from Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary (HMIC) to Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Service (HMICFRS).

The Police and Crime Commissioner has a duty in law to comment on any HMICFRS report which includes information about Nottinghamshire Police.  A copy of those comments is sent to the Home Secretary.

The HMICFRS website contains all their publications

Reports can be found below, together with the relevant reponses where required:-

Custody Services in a COVID-19 Environment
In March 2020 all inspection work requiring appreciable contributions from police forces, and fire and rescue services were suspended so that they could focus on responding to the pandemic. In July, it was announced that the intention was to inspect the police response to the pandemic. The inspection took a snapshot of policing during the pandemic and looked at what happened from March to November 2020.

The inspection assessed how policing:

  • understood and prepared for the potential and actual impact of the pandemic;
  • responded initially, and continues to respond, to the pandemic; and
  • is evaluating its response to the pandemic, establishing what is and is not working and using this to shape how the police service operates.

The report Policing in the pandemic: The police response to the COVID-19 pandemic was published in March 2021.  This report supplements the wider inspection with more detailed findings on how custody services operated in a COVID-19 environment. It aims to:

  • increase the police service’s national and local understanding of how custody services operate in a COVID-19 environment;
  • show how services have been/are affected and how police forces are responding; and
  • establish what improvements forces and the wider Criminal Justice System can make.

Policing in the Pandemic - The police response to the coronavirus pandemic during 2020

In a time of unparalleled change, the public looked to the police to keep services running and to keep order. Stepping in when many others could not or would not, the police took immediate and decisive action to keep people safe, tackle crime and find answers to problems brought by the pandemic. 
This report reflects on the positive work carried out under extreme circumstances while officers and staff faced significant difficulties.

Getting the Balance Right?  An inspection of how effectively the police deal with protests
On 21 September 2020, the Home Secretary commissioned HMICFRS to conduct  
an inspection into how effectively the police manage protests. This followed  
several protests, by groups including Extinction Rebellion, Black Lives Matter and many others. Some of them had caused disruption in various parts of the country, including London and other cities.

Disproportionate Use of Police Powers - A spotlight on stop and search and the use of force
The tragic killing of George Floyd in the USA in May 2020, and the subsequent protests in the UK and around the world, have highlighted once again the significant impact that police interaction can have on some people, particularly those from Black, Asian and Minority Ethnic communities.  The public rightly expect the police to protect them by using their powers in an effective and fair manner. When the police use their powers disproportionately – in differing proportions on different ethnic groups – it causes suspicion among some communities that they are being unfairly targeted.

Impact of the pandemic on the Criminal Justice System

This report provides a cross-system view of how the criminal justice system reacted in the immediate aftermath of the first national Covid-19 lockdown (23 March to 10 May 2020), and of how the system has managed since.

The cumulative impact on the system of the sweeping changes wrought by Covid-19 necessity is both clear and profound – and has still to be fully felt.

All four criminal justice inspectorates have carried out inspections of their respective agencies’ responses to Covid-19. This report sets out findings from these inspections as well as cross-cutting themes, and highlights the successes, challenges and problems that the system has faced and still faces.

The report highlights risks and innovative practice, and focuses in detail on the greatest risk facing the criminal justice system as it continues to respond to and recover from the pandemic.

Pre-charge bail and released under investigation - Striking a balance

Between October 2019 and February 2020, they inspected the police and Crown Prosecution Service’s (CPS) responses to pre-charge bail changes and the use of released under investigation (RUI).

Police powers to release suspects on bail changed with the enactment of the Policing and Crime Act 2017.  Before then, there was no limit to the amount of time bail could apply. But in April 2017, the new legislation significantly changed how bail could be used.

This was a joint thematic inspection led by HMICFRS and supported by Her Majesty’s Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate.

PEEL Spotlight Report - The Hard Yards

Many police forces across England and Wales collaborate with neighbouring forces to share resources and core functions. These collaborations were brought in to help forces create efficiencies and provide a better service for the public. However, nationally forces are spending over a quarter of a billion pounds on collaborations every year without achieving the desired results.

As part of the annual 2018/19 PEEL assessments, HMICFRS inspected the 43 forces in England and Wales. During the reporting process, we identified themes around force to force collaboration, and drew them together in this report. These findings were supplemented by six specific case studies, covering 27 forces.

Roads Policing:  Not optional

Before 2013 there were sustained reductions in road deaths in England and Wales. Since then the number of road deaths has levelled off and there are signs of an upturn. Yet, we found that the importance of roads policing has been in decline for some years. There has been less enforcement of drink/drug driving and not wearing seatbelts, with an increase in deaths attributed to these offences.

Roads policing has evolved from ‘traffic officers’ who were mainly focused on enforcement of road traffic legislation, and dealing with road traffic collisions, to a wider concept of policing the roads. This includes the use of roads policing resources to target criminals who use the road network for their criminal purpose.

A call for help

The control room is one of the engine rooms of a police force. If it doesn’t have the right systems and processes in place, the force won’t have an accurate picture of demand. This will affect its ability to respond to calls and investigate crimes effectively.

In this report, the findings highlight the challenges that the police service faces in handling calls with smaller budgets and fewer people. It finds that as the demand on control rooms increases, careful management is needed to make sure that the police service doesn’t become overwhelmed.

State of Policing 2019

This is Her Majesty’s Chief Inspector of Constabulary’s report to the Secretary of State under section 54(4A) of the Police Act 1996. It contains an assessment of the efficiency and effectiveness of policing in England and Wales based on the inspections carried out between May 2019 and March 2020.

This year’s assessment starts with initial observations on the quality of the police response to the public health emergency created by COVID-19, and the wider demands the police faced during 2019.

Counter-terrorism Policing An inspection of the police’s contribution to the government’s Prevent programme

Prevent is one of four strands of CONTEST, the UK Government’s strategy for countering terrorism. It aims to tackle the causes of radicalisation, and support and safeguard those at risk of becoming radicalised. As such, the police have a critical role identifying people who are vulnerable to radicalisation and referring them for appropriate support.

As part of HMICFRS’s counter-terrorism inspections programme, an inspection was carried out to examine how effective the police are in contributing to Prevent.

Between October 2018 and February 2019, all 43 Home Office-funded police forces in England and Wales were visited, as well as the British Transport Police, the Civil Nuclear Constabulary and the Ministry of Defence Police. This inspection sought to establish whether forces have the capability to meet terrorist threats faced by the UK.

This report sets out the high level findings from this inspection and is redacted, in the interest of national security.

National Child Protection Inspections
HMICFRS has been inspecting the child protection work of every police force in England and Wales since 2014.  They do this as a single agency and alongside other inspectorates. The reports they publish are intended to provide information for the police, police and crime commissioners (PCCs), other safeguarding agencies, the government and the public on how well the police and their partnersprotect children and secure improvements for the future. This is their second thematic child protection report. The first, in 2015, showed that despite clear commitment and some progress much more needed to be done to ensure that all children in need of help and protection received the right help at the right time.

The multi-agency response to child sexual abuse in the family environment

This report draws together findings from six joint targeted area inspections, focusing on the multi-agency response to child sexual abuse in the family environment.

The findings in this report consider the extent to which children’s social care, health professionals, the police and probation officers were effective in safeguarding children who live with sexual abuse in the family environment.

The inspections were carried out between September 2018 and May 2019 in the following local areas:

  • Bracknell Forest
  • Cornwall
  • Derby City
  • Islington
  • Shropshire
  • York

The findings from these inspections have been drawn together to identify national themes and issues, highlighting the need for professionals to give sexual abuse a higher priority in local areas, through improved training and awareness-raising of the problem.

Evidence led domestic abuse prosecutions

If the victim of domestic abuse decides not to support a prosecution, police and prosecutors should consider whether it is possible to bring a prosecution without that support. This is called an evidence led prosecution.

Her Majesty’s Crown Prosecution Service Inspectorate (HMCPSI) and HMICFRS conducted an inspection to find out:

  • whether the guidance and policy on evidence led prosecutions is widely understood by both police officers and prosecutors; and
  • whether they seek to build viable evidence led prosecutions where appropriate.

Both sides of the coin  The police and National Crime Agency’s response to vulnerable people in ‘county lines’ drug offending

‘County lines’ is a term used to describe crimes involving gangs and organised criminal networks moving illegal drugs around the UK. Typically, this will involve moving drugs out from large cities and urban areas to sell in rural communities.

In its Serious Violence Strategy, published in April 2018, the Government identified strong links between increases in violence and the exploitation of children and vulnerable adults by criminal drug dealers operating ‘county lines’. The strategy included a commitment that HMICFRS would carry out an inspection of police forces’ ability to identify, respond to and disrupt county lines-related criminality and abuse.

In 2019, HMICFRS inspected how county lines drug trafficking is dealt with at local, regional and national levels. We concentrated on how the police and National Crime Agency identify and treat children and other vulnerable people involved in county lines offending.

For this inspection:

  • analysed documents and data;
  • visited the national county lines co-ordination centre, three regional organised crime units and ten police forces;
  • visited British Transport Police (which polices the rail network across Great Britain) because rail travel is a common feature of county lines offending;
  • interviewed relevant staff in each location; and
  • consulted representatives from other bodies.

CYBER: Keep the light on - An inspection of the police response to cyber-dependent

In early 2019, the Home Secretary commissioned HMICFRS to inspect the effectiveness and efficiency of the police response to cyber-dependent crime.

To do this, it was assessed whether:

  • law enforcement has a well-designed strategy for tackling cyber-dependent crime;
  • organisational structures provide the necessary capacity, capabilities and partnerships;
  • victims of cyber-dependent crime receive a high-quality response; and
  • staff at local and national levels are provided with appropriate learning opportunities to deal with cyber-dependent crime.

The inspection took place between April and June 2019 in 10 forces, in addition to 3 law enforcement agencies and 9 regional organised crime units.

PEEL: Spotlight Report shining a light on betrayal

The abuse of position for a sexual purpose of people who have come into contact with the police for help is abhorrent. All forces need to fully understand this type of offending, take all opportunities to identify warning signs and stop it from happening.

In the previous spotlight report in May 2019, there were concerns about the progress forces are making in tackling the problem.

This report examines this important theme in greater detail.  A national picture is provided, drawing on the finalised findings from the 29 forces in the first two tranches of the integrated PEEL assessments, and the early findings from the third and final tranche of forces.

The police and CPS response to crimes against older people

In this inspection, the first by HMICFRS and HMCPSI to look specifically at older victims of crime, adult safeguarding was described as the ‘poor relation’ of safeguarding arrangements. While the police are correct to take child safeguarding incredibly seriously, there are concerns that safeguarding for vulnerable adults is not prioritised in the same way. It is important that those aged 18 and over receive the protection and support that they require.

PEEL: Police legitimacy (including leadership) 2017

As part of its annual inspections into police effectiveness, efficiency and legitimacy (PEEL), HM Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) assesses the legitimacy and leadership of police forces across England and Wales.

Police legitimacy – a concept that is well established in the UK as ‘policing by consent’ – is crucial in a democratic society. The police have powers to act in ways that would be considered illegal by any other member of the public (for example, by using force or depriving people of their liberty). Therefore, it is vital that they use these powers fairly, and that they treat people with respect in the course of their duties.

PEEL: Police efficiency (including leadership) 2017

As with all public services, the police service must operate in a way that makes the most of its available resources. To do this, police forces must understand what their demand is – by which we mean what work they can reasonably predict they will have on any given day – and ensure that they have the resources they need, in the right place, to meet that demand. To stay efficient they must have good, realistic and evidence-based plans for the future. Our efficiency inspection assessed all of these areas during 2017.

As part of the 2017 inspection, we also integrated aspects of leadership into our assessment of efficiency, as the two areas are closely linked. We assessed how police leaders are driving innovation in policing, within their own forces and further afield. We also inspected how well forces are planning for the future with regards to their leadership.

Missing Children: who cares? The police response to missing and absent children

Each year thousands of children go missing from their homes. Although the majority of them return home or are found soon after, all children who go missing are potentially at risk of harm, and a significant number, because of their circumstances, will face the risk of sexual, criminal or economic exploitation.

Responding to missing incidents places a high demand on police time, but the consequences of not investigating cases can be extremely serious, leaving some children at risk of exploitation and/or significant harm.
