HMICFRS Report 2024
Our latest His Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) report has now been published and inspectors have graded us as outstanding at responding to major and multi-agency incidents.
The report follows a full inspection during Spring this year in which inspectors graded us against 11 areas, the majority of which were graded as good. The inspectors state we have made progress since the last report and highlight ten areas where they have seen improvements.
Two areas of promising practice were highlighted, one was the area in which we received our outstanding grading and this was how we work well with the Civil Contingencies Unit (CCU) to provide a preventative and a reactive response to multi-agency or major incidents. The second was our work with the NHS for our falls response and home from hospital service.
