Cumbria PEEL 2015
Other inspections
How well has the force performed in our other inspections?
In addition to the three core PEEL pillars, HMICFRS carries out inspections of a wide range of policing activity throughout the year. Some of these are conducted alongside the PEEL inspections; others are joint inspections.
Findings from these inspections are published separately to the main PEEL reports, but are taken into account when producing the rounded assessment of each force's performance.

Police custody
Some aspects of police custody in Cumbria had improved while others had deteriorated.
There had been improvements in the condition of the custody estate and the care of detainees since our last inspection. Nevertheless, new management arrangements were not yet embedded and arrangements to monitor and manage performance were weak. It was a particular concern that processes to protect and safeguard the most vulnerable detainees were not fully effective.
