Explained in plain English

Who else reviews police?

Beyond the recent leadership review, various bodies scrutinise police in England and Wales. The Independent Office for Police Conduct (IOPC) investigates serious complaints, while His Majesty's Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Services (HMICFRS) inspects forces on efficiency and effectiveness. These reviews aim to ensure accountability and drive improvements, much like the report highlighted in our story.
