The latest report into Humberside Police’s performance has today been published by His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS).
Commenting on the report, Police and Crime Commissioner Jonathan Evison said:
“PEEL inspections are an important ‘point in time’ summary of police forces’ performance. I am delighted that again, the hard work and determination of Humberside Police officers and staff to prevent crime and keep our communities safe has been recognised in this report. We have more police officers than ever before out on our streets every day working to keep us all safe and I thank them for that.
“I am pleased that the report recognises Humberside Police’s strengths in neighbourhood policing, answering and responding to calls from the public, and the improvements made in outcomes for victims of crime. The prevention of crime is also highlighted as a success of the force; this is vital, as the best way to support a victim of crime is to stop them becoming a victim in the first place. However, it also highlights areas requiring improvement and we must always strive to do better.
“Last year I appointed a new Chief Constable, and through my regular holding to account sessions I have seen how steps have been taken to identify corrective measures. I agree with HM Inspector that progress has been made and that the force has the leadership in place to sustain this. I will continue to seek assurance of them on behalf of the public and work to ensure our communities get the police force they deserve.”
