Proposed policing inspection programme and framework 2025–29
Applies to England and Wales
Consultation description
This consultation document from His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) sets out our intended inspection programme for policing between April 2025 and March 2029.
We want to make sure that we continue to focus our inspection work on what matters most to the public. We are asking for views on whether our programme covers the right themes and areas of policing activity.
In particular, we would be grateful to receive your responses to the following consultation questions:
1. Do the proposed thematic inspections cover the topics that are currently of most concern to you? Which do you believe are the most important or urgent?
2. Do you agree with the proposed changes to the PEEL assessment framework?
3. Are there any significant new or emerging problems in policing that we should consider when we inspect individual police forces?
These questions are repeated in the body of the consultation. At the end, we explain how you can give us your views.
