Police officer dismissals: Home Office review

Home Office Review: The process of police officer dismissals

Details

In January, the Home Secretary launched a review into the process of police officer dismissals, to ensure that the system is fair and effective at removing those officers who are not fit to serve.

Following conclusion of that review, on 31 August, the government announced a series of reforms to strengthen the police disciplinary system, which have given greater responsibilities to chief constables. This report sets out the analysis of evidence and subsequent findings and recommendations of that review.
