Wiltshire Police and Crime Commissioner Philip Wilkinson has given a statement after Wiltshire Police gets its latest inspection report and gradings.
He said: “The latest HMICFRS PEEL inspection confirms that Wiltshire Police is moving in the right direction, with clear and independently recognised improvements. Progress since the very difficult inspection outcomes of 2022 is real, credible and sustained but there is still more to do.
“For some time now, it has been evident to me as Police and Crime Commissioner that Wiltshire Police is no longer recovering from failure. The Force has moved decisively into the more demanding phase of embedding improvement and building long‑term, sustainable performance.
“That matters because policing is not judged by inspections alone. It is judged by how safe people feel in their neighbourhoods, how quickly emergency calls are answered, whether help arrives when it is needed, how fairly people are treated and how well victims are supported. The latest inspection evidence shows tangible improvement across these measures, while also being clear about where greater consistency and grip are still required"
