Performance and Measurement
Police Performance Assessments
Performance assessments are done annually, giving the public a rounded view of how their local force is doing across-the-board. Read this year's figures here.
This website allows users to access the latest police performance assessments for police forces in England and Wales as well as those for previous years. These assesments form part of the Policing Performanc e Assessment Framework (PPAF) developed by the Home Office and Her Majesty’s Inspectorate of Constabulary (new window) (HMIC), with support from the Association of Police Authorities (new window) (APA) and the Association of Chief Police Officers (new window) (ACPO).
These assessments cover the full range of policing activity and are based on a combination of performance data and professional judgement. Assessments are awarded for the performance delivered by a police force (by comparing a force to its peers), and also for direction (by comparing the performance achieved by a force in one year to that achieved by the same force in the previous year).
Users can also view the national publication which complements this website, as well as a short guide to the police performance assessments.
