Policing Pledge HMIC Inspection Results

In July 2008 the Home Secretary published the Green Paper “From the neighbourhood to the national: policing our communities together”. This paper introduced the Policing Pledge. The Pledge lists 10 basic standards which the police promise to deliver to the public in England and Wales, and reflects the desire of police forces to connect more successfully with the needs of their communities.

HMIC (external website) was asked to observe and report on Policing Pledge delivery throughout the country.
