This table lists the official misconduct hearing and outcome pages for all 44 police forces in England and Wales. It provides a comparative snapshot of how each force fulfils their obligations to report on police misconduct.
The table includes the following fields:
Notes: An individual assessment of each force’s approach to reporting, including the consistency, transparency, and detail of published misconduct outcomes.
Rating: Each force is graded according to how well it meets its statutory and ethical obligations to publish misconduct outcomes:
- Excellent – The force provides full and detailed reports, meeting all transparency obligations.
- Good – The force publishes full reports and meets most public reporting expectations.
- Average – The force meets only some obligations, often providing limited or inconsistent data.
- Poor – The force falls short of basic requirements.
- Bad – The force appears to obscure or limit access to misconduct information.
- Failed – The force does not publish any outcomes or upcoming misconduct hearings.
Reports: Indicates whether the force publishes full misconduct reports on its website and how long those reports remain publicly accessible. If no timeframe is stated, reports may remain available for several years or be removed without notice.
This comparison exposes the vast inconsistency across forces and the widespread failure to meet public accountability standards.
