Breakout - Measuring Up What are the most effective ways to improve police performance, raise standards, and build public trust in policing? Across the system, multiple agencies already monitor how police operate and assess their effectiveness, but how reliable are these measures, and what do they really tell us about the state of policing? As part of this wider landscape, the Home Office has recently established the ‘Police Standards and Performance Improvement Directorate’ to provide a more data-rich picture of force performance. How can it complement or challenge existing approaches and how can it succeed in capturing what really matters?sponsored by Breakout - In the Neighbourhood |
