Wiltshire Police and Crime Commissioner Philip Wilkinson welcomed today’s HMICFRS Police Effectiveness, Efficiency and Legitimacy (PEEL) report for Wiltshire Police, which highlights the improvements made since 2022, when the Force was placed into Engage. Mr Wilkinson said: “Today’s report shows Wiltshire Police has come a long way since its last report in 2022. “Both the Chief Constable and I knew strides were being made to improve in a variety of areas and this was confirmed when the Force was lifted from Engage in May. It is pleasing to see this has also been recognised by His Majesty’s Inspectors and we approach this report with a level of cautious optimism. “It has been a joint priority of Wiltshire Police - and my office - to ensure significant, and sustainable, reform across all areas of the organisation to provide a stable foundation for all necessary improvements. It was vital we ensured the Force functioned strategically but was also able to deliver the policing service it knows it should - and which our residents want and need. I join the Chief in her aspiration for Wiltshire Police to be an outstanding policing service in future years." |
