PEEL: Police legitimacy 2015

Published on: 11 February 2016

Publication types: Legitimacy and PEEL

Police Forces: All local forces in England and Wales

Summary

As part of HMIC’s annual inspections into police effectiveness, efficiency and legitimacy (PEEL), this programme assessed how legitimate the force is at keeping people safe and reducing crime. The inspection focused on whether forces are consistently behaving in a way that is fair, reasonable, effective and lawful, and if they have the consent of the public. HMIC has reported on legitimacy at a force level, as well as drawing out overarching themes which are set out in this national report.

The legitimacy report follows on from reports on efficiency and vulnerability (part of effectiveness) in 2015. The effectiveness inspection findings will be published on 18 February 2016.
