HMICFRS Inspection Reports
Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary and Fire & Rescue Service (HMICFRS) are commissioned by the Home Secretary to undertake inspections of police forces and fire and rescue services.
Section 55(5) of the Police Act 1996 requires all Police and Crime Commissioners to prepare comments on any published HMICFRS reports that relate to their force, to forward these to the Home Office and then publish in the manner they see fit.
